Okay so i've been expanding my music taste for the past couple of months and one group I've become a hopelessly devoted stan to is NewJeans! NewJeans is a 4th gen k-pop girl group. For those who don't know what that means, k-pop stands for Korean pop. Now that can be debatable, as people are now trying to get kpop to mean "pop music based in Korea" to bring about more inclusivity into the kpop industry. 4th gen means that they are in the 4th generation or era of artists to debut in kpop. So basically they are the rookies of the kpop industry.
But anyways, back to NewJeans. They're a 5 member group that debuted in July of 2022. The eldest and leader of the group is Minji, then there's Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and the maknae (youngest) Hyein. They have so far released their first EP with four tracks (Attention, Hype Boy, Cookie, and Hurt) and then recently released a single album with two new tracks, OMG and Ditto. The songs are soooooo good. What makes them stand out to me is their youth and y2k freshness. Now they are significantly younger than their peers, which is a good and bad thing BUT they are bringing such a new take to kpop and their music is just so addictive. You should really check their music out if you haven't already!! I'm gonna give a more in depth review on their music soon, so be sure to be on the lookout!!!
