NewJeans is gearing up to set Japanese stages ablaze with their highly anticipated debut, and excitement couldn't be higher!

The group is set to drop the music video for their track "Right Now," part of their Japanese debut single "Supernatural," on the 17th, and fans are already on the edge of their seats.

In a sneak peek teaser dropped on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel, NewJeans teased fans with snippets of the melodic magic to come, giving a taste of their vocal prowess.

But what's really got everyone buzzing is the striking visuals hinting at a collaboration with none other than Murakami Takashi.

The fusion of NewJeans x Murakami Takashi characters alongside the beloved Powerpuff Girls from their previous work "Get Up" promises a visual feast like no other.

The hype train doesn't stop there! Pharrell Williams, the global pop sensation, lends his talents to the title track "Supernatural," adding an extra layer of star power to their Japanese debut.

With Pharrell's iconic adlibs and bridge reimagined into a fresh New Jack Swing style, produced by 250, "Supernatural" is primed to be a chart-topper.

But wait, there's more! Collaborations with cultural icons like Murakami Takashi and Hiroshi Fujiwara have fans buzzing with anticipation.

From "bag albums" featuring stylish drawstring bags and cross bags with Murakami Takashi, to streetwear essentials like T-shirts, bandanas, and hats with Hiroshi Fujiwara, NewJeans is making waves in the fashion world too. And the cherry on top?

Official merchandise from these collaborations will be up for grabs at 'Supernatural' release pop-up stores in Korea and Japan on the 26th.

As if that wasn't enough, fans are in for a treat with massive fan meetings lined up. Following their Japanese debut single drop on the 21st, NewJeans will grace the Tokyo Dome stage for the "Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome" fan meeting on the 26th and 27th, setting a new record for foreign artists with the shortest time to perform at the iconic venue.

Despite being midweek affairs, tickets for NewJeans' Tokyo Dome extravaganza were snapped up in a flash, testament to their skyrocketing popularity.

And let's not forget their recent comeback in Korea! With their double single "How Sweet," NewJeans has been dominating domestic and global music charts alike, cementing their status as million-sellers and music chart darlings.

Get ready, folks! NewJeans is about to take the world by storm, and it's going to be legendary!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.
