The text is a detailed overview of the Korean girl group, New Jeans, their debut, and their subsequent success. The group was created by the renowned director and creative at cementainment, who moved to hype and created a subsidiary called ador (All Doors One Room). The group consists of five members with an average age of 14, and they all underwent around two and a half years of training.
New Jeans debuted on July 22, 2022, and their main song, "Ascension," quickly topped the Korean charts, a feat that hadn't happened in five years. They entered the Spotify list in the United States without any global promotion and achieved number one positions in music programs five times. Their album was ranked 46th in Rolling Stone's list of the 100 best albums of 2022, and their song "Hype Point" was ranked 24th in the list of the 100 best songs.
The group's name, New Jeans, is a combination of "new," representing a new generation or new genetics, and "jeans," symbolizing the group's aim to be an icon of the era like jeans, which are always fashionable and never go out of style. The group's music is characterized by its comforting sounds and distinctive vocals, with the members writing their own lyrics.
New Jeans' debut was unlike the traditional K-pop debut, as they released their music video for "Attention" suddenly without prior notice or teasers. They also released a music video for each song on their album in several versions, with a unique and original style. The group also created a temporary pop-up event to commemorate their debut, which was the first time a debuting group did this.
One of their songs, "Cookie," sparked a controversy due to its sexual connotations, leading to a debate about the song's appropriateness for young girls to sing. The group's management responded with a detailed statement denying the song's sexual intent and accusing critics of bad intentions.
New Jeans is also known for their philanthropy. They donated part of their musical profits to a foundation that helps people with hearing disabilities and promised to make donations every year with their musical earnings. The group's representative, Vinci, is described as a mother figure to the group, taking care of them and ensuring they can flourish.
Finally, the text discusses New Jeans' latest musical release, "Dito," which is dedicated to their fans and carries a message of mutual affection. The music video for "Dito" features a lonely girl named Pan Hissu, who represents the fans, and ends with New Jeans appearing to Hissu. The song and video explore the fictitious relationship between fans and idols, the pain of growing up and moving away, and the enduring bond between fans and their favorite groups.
