NewJeans becomes the only K-pop group to appear on a major Billboard list

From ADOR, a subsidiary of HYBE, the NewJeans became the only K-pop group to appear on Billboard’s 21 Under 21 list. The list was created to recognize young artists who are standing out in the music industry, reaching audiences beyond the genres in which they produce music.

This is because, since the group’s debut, which took place in August 2022 with the release of the self-titled EP, the group has achieved important positions on the Billboard charts by placing three hits in the top 10 on the Billboard Global 200, four on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart, five on the Hot 100 and six on the World Digital Song Sales, as revealed by the magazine that created both music charts.

One of the causes of the group’s enormous success is social media, such as Hannione of the members of the group (who also brings Minji, Danielle, Haerin It is Hyein as members), noted in a statement to Billboard.

It has become easier to reach wider audiences, regardless of language or any other type of barrier”, says Hanni. “That’s something we definitely don’t take for granted.”
