• NewJeans' Youngest Member Hyein Reflects on Wardrobe Changes as She Grows Older: "I'm Not Wearing Bright Clothes Anymore"

    Hyein, the youngest member of NewJeans, has sparked curiosity with her recent comment about aging.

    On the NewJeans YouTube channel, behind-the-scenes footage from the recording sessions for their new songs 'Bubble Gum' and 'How Sweet' was unveiled.

    During the video, Hyein, who was the first to record among the members, showcased her skilled vocals.

    She caught attention when she remarked, "Today, I'm singing 'Bubble Gum,' and I tried to find some colorful clothes in my closet, but maybe because I'm getting older, I don't have any vibrant clothes left," which intrigued viewers.

    She smiled and added, "Even this one is pink, but it's a very deep shade," expressing her contentment with the recording session. Following Hyein, Minji, Hani, Haerin, Daniel, and others took their turns in the recording booth.

    However, Hyein is currently unable to participate in these activities. Earlier, NewJeans' agency, Adore, revealed, "During rehearsals in April, Hyein experienced pain in her instep and underwent thorough medical examinations, which identified a minor fracture."

    They further explained, "Since then, she has been focusing on treatment and recovery. However, medical advice recommends minimizing activities that could strain her instep."

    The agency continued, stating, "As a result, Hyein has chosen to prioritize stability and rest, and will not be participating in official activities, including music broadcasts and performances for the double single 'How Sweet.'"
