On July 21, HYBE suddenly uploaded the MV "Attention" on the official YouTube channel without any information about the group's members. At that time, the 5 girls who performed "Attention" were known only as NewJeans, or "Min Hee Jin's girl group".

Min Hee Jin is the former artistic director of SM Entertainment. NewJeans is the first girl group introduced after she took on the role of CEO of ADOR - a subsidiary of HYBE Labels group.

After only 1 month of debut, NewJeans was praised as a "monster rookie" with remarkable achievements.

The group "does not imitate BLACKPINK"

When BLACKPINK is globally famous, many new generation Kpop rookies have oriented towards this strong girl-crush style, with the desire to continue the success of the 4 YG girls. Even SM's girl group, aespa, when debuted in 2020, was called a "copy" of BLACKPINK.

But NewJeans is completely different. The first feeling when looking at the lineup and watching the opening MV "Attention" is youthful, bright and refreshing.

The 5 members, aged between 14 and 18, the youngest idol group in Kpop, have removed the mechanical sound, removed the old makeup to focus on the natural, naughty teenage boyhood.

According to Dispatch, NewJeans' music is based on pop music, but the style expressed on the debut album is very diverse.

"Attention" is a mix of '90s school style with trendy electronic sounds. "Hype Boy" is a mix of moombahton and electro-pop genres. "Cookie" is a dance-pop song with a minimalist but catchy hip-hop beat.

While the b-side track "Hurt" has a simple R&B mix, the sound is mostly drums and vocals mixed in, giving it a lovely, ambiguous feel.

NewJeans' music is a blend of typical K-pop qualities and trendy European - American colors of the generation of GenZ singers.

NewJeans members come from different cultures. Minji, Haerin, Hyein are Korean, while Hanni is an idol of Vietnamese origin, born and raised in Australia, Danielle is an Australian, of Korean origin.

However, all 5 girls have good foreign language skills - an important factor for the group to promote globally.

NewJeans is also considered to have good live performance. Only 1 month of debut, the group won 4 trophies in Korea's top music shows, including MCountdowwn, Inkigayo, Music Core, and Music Bank.

Currently, the song "Attention" is still in the Top 1 MelOn Top 100, above BLACKPINK's "Pink Venom".

It must be said again and again, although highly appreciated, NewJeans is also facing many controversies over lyrics and costumes. Many of the group's products have been criticized for not being suitable for the age group of the members. If these problems can be overcome, NewJeans can grow and succeed even more.
