Hanni was chosen to join the group after passing the global audition Plus Global Audition 2019. She spent two and a half years as a trainee before debuting. In July 2021, Hanni appeared in BTS's Permission to Dance MV.

At the time of the broadcast, the audience was extremely impressed by Hanni's pure beauty and knowing that she was of Vietnamese origin, many people were even more interested and devoted to the new female rookie of the HYBE family.

NewJeans consists of five members: Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein, under Ador Entertainment - a subsidiary of Hybe. Minji is 18 years old, used to be a trainee at Source Music. Danielle was born in 2005, father is Australian, mother is Korean. She joined the entertainment industry at the age of six, appearing in many children's shows such as Rainbow Kindergarten, Jesse's Play Kitchen... 16-year-old Haerin, commented to have many similarities with Jennie (Blackpink). 14-year-old Hyein - the youngest member of the group - entered the entertainment industry at the age of eight as a model. She used to be active in the girl group USSO.

The members were selected through Plus Global Audition supervised by director Min Hee Jin. Hee Jin directs the entire process from casting to planning, music, production, and choreography. Min Hee Jin is a former creative director of SM Entertainment, behind the success of many popular groups such as F(x), EXO, Red Velvet, etc.

Min Hee Jin talked about choosing the group's name, "It's like jeans that have stood the test of time and are loved by many regardless of age and gender. NewJeans aspires to become a symbol of the times." The group has released four MVs in their first album "Extended Play" and will perform at music shows "M Countdown", "Music Bank", and "Inkigayo", respectively, from August 4 to 6.

Up to now, the information about Hanni as well as the girls of NewJeans is still quite meager when the management company has not released all the "resumes" of the members. However, after only 2 MVs were released, the Kpop fan community deserves a pretty positive evaluation for NewJeans even though HYBE was previously known as famous for "the girl group curse". With a bright appearance compared to Jennie (BLACKPINK) and the most outstanding rating of the group, Hanni will also be a Vietnamese-origin idol with many surprises and outstanding ability in the near future.

On July 31, The Bell newspaper reported that HYBE Group invested more than 16 billion won (about 12.2 million USD) in the rookie girl group NewJeans. In conjunction with Weverse Company, an application development group called Phoning to create a means of communication for NewJeans and fans.

Initially, HYBE only invested 100 million won (about 76,700 USD) for ADOR - NewJeans' management company. But the number increased to 10 billion won (about 7.6 million USD) and then another 6 billion won (about 4.6 million USD). According to The Bell, HYBE has been focusing on diversifying business activities as well as expanding the artist lineup to reduce dependence on BTS because this group's revenue accounts for a high proportion. In the first half of this year, this group launched two girl groups Le Sserafim and NewJeans.

ADOR is led by CEO Min Hee Jin. After joining SM Entertainment in 2002, Min Hee Jin was in charge of conceptual planning and visual direction for SNSD, SHINee, f(x), EXO, and Red Velvet. In 2019, she transferred to the general manager of brand of HYBE and was appointed CEO of ADOR in November 2021. NewJeans is Min Hee Jin's first group since joining HYBE.

In the case of NewJeans, the team is expected to generate future growth for HYBE as the team targets the global market. Five members are fluent in English.

NewJeans was famous before debut thanks to its different music and invested MVs. NewJeans' debut album recorded 444,000 pre-orders as of July 27. This is the highest pre-order of any K-pop girl group debuting this year. The group officially debuted on August 1.

A few days ago, NewJeans received a lot of criticism for wearing costumes that many netizens considered "inappropriate for their age".

It can be seen that despite debuting at a relatively young age (14-18 years old), NewJeans members often post photos of heavy makeup, wearing crop-tops or low-rise pants,... on social networks.

CEO of ADOR - the company that directly manages NewJeans - Min Hee Jin was also reminded of the past of pursuing the lolita concept, which is especially sensitive to young idols.

On August 1, NewJeans officially debuted with the EP New Jeans and released the music video for the song Cookie. Like the recent videos, the song sounds sweet and the title is quite age appropriate for the members.

But many netizens don't think so. They think that considering the age of the members and Min Hee Jin's past, the music video is not simply about cookies.

In the context of the lyrics, many people think that NewJeans is using the word "Cookie" as a metaphor for a vulgar word.

"Looking at my cookie, the smell alone makes me feel different. Just one bite isn't enough... If you want it, you can get it, if you want it, give it to me Listen to my voice."

After the lyrics were shared online, international netizens could not hide their anger and indignation. Many people also added that the group's style in the music video is also inappropriate when the members dress like secretaries in corporations.

Within hours, tweets criticizing Min Hee Jin gathered thousands of comments. Many wondered how HYBE could approve such lyrics with a group with minors.

On the other hand, Korean netizens defended NewJeans and said that the translation by international fans has caused many people to misunderstand the lyrics. On theqoo network forum, many people wrote:

-The lyrics are super cute and fresh

- Words are a bit vague, I guess

- How can they think the lyrics are related to sex? I really don't get it

Korean netizens also pointed out that in a video introducing the song, NewJeans once shared the meaning of Cookie: "There is a very special meaning behind Cookie, which we want to explain to you. Cookie is a It's a fan song and we made it for everyone."
