• NewJeans’ Haerin Shares Thoughts on Adapting to Change in Recent Interview

    NewJeans showcased their vibrant charm in a new photoshoot!

    On November 4, Vogue Korea released a digital cover featuring NewJeans and Nike on their social media. In the stunning photos, the members sported Nike's latest sneakers, striking bold and energetic poses that captured a sporty vibe.

    In the group shots, each member displayed their unique style with a block-core look, showing off their talent for embracing different concepts.

    After the photoshoot, NewJeans opened up about their experiences as a team and their personal tastes in an interview.

    Minji expressed her love for her group, saying, “They have helped me grow so much and have been a precious source of strength in every moment. They feel like a major pillar in my life that I can’t do without.”

    Hanni shared her passion for retro items like film cameras and vinyl records, explaining, “Film cameras capture those moments in pictures, allowing me to look back and recall memories, which is so appealing. I find it really fun and healing to choose music while looking at the LP album covers.”

    Danielle talked about her original song from the Tokyo Dome fan meeting, saying, “Sometimes, when I put feelings that I can’t express into a song, I can convey them without embarrassment. I wanted to capture the warmth and excitement I feel for Bunnies (the fandom) in my song. I created this song with the hope that all the shining moments with Bunnies are truly precious and everlasting.”

    Haerin reflected on their journey since debuting, saying, “I always do my best according to the stage situation at that time. I try to adapt freely even when variables arise.”

    Hyein added, “In hindsight, there have been times I regretted not fully enjoying the moment because of unnecessary worries. So, at some point, my heart became more excited than burdened. Even that sense of burden has become fun and something to be grateful for.”

    NewJeans continues to inspire fans with their dynamic spirit and heartfelt insights!

    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.

    Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

    Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
