Episode notes

“I got no time to lose / 내 길었던 하루 / 난 보고 싶어 / ra-ta-ta-ta…” are the lyrics that have been stuck in our heads ever since we discovered NewJeans, a 5-member Korean girl group that has infiltrated our playlists with their bright and youthful vibes. After their debut in July of 2022, NewJeans quickly skyrocketed to fame. Nowadays, their dance challenges and songs like “Hype Boy” and “OMG” are seen/heard all across TikTok. Even if you’re not a fan of the group, it’s hard not to have heard of them! So what makes this new girl group so popular, and how are they different from other K-Pop groups?

On today’s episode, we give a brief overview of NewJeans’ career so far, how we discovered them, and particular aspects of their music and background that could have contributed to their success.
