After making their ~surprise~ debut, NewJeans is now the talk of the town! The K-pop girl group instantly became a strong player in the industry even without *teasers* and their songs are now chart-toppers. Props to their company, ADOR (an independent agency under HYBE Labels), for pulling off an unusual yet interesting move that caught everyone's attention!
NewJeans' concept has that early 2000s vibe and the girls are effortlessly cool: A quick scroll on social media and you'll see that everyone loves their refreshing style and visuals. You have probably heard one of their songs on Spotify—"Attention," "Hype Boy," "Cookie," and "Hurt"—and are curious about the group, so...
Here's your guide to the members of NewJeans:
1. Minji
NewJeans' eldest member, Kim Min Ji, might be a familiar face to some since she has already appeared in BTS' music video for "Permission To Dance." She was also the face of Plus Global Audition, a collaboration project between Big Hit Entertainment and Source Music. Minji was born on May 7, 2004, making her a Taurus.
The member can easily captivate hearts with her stunning visuals and stage presence. Fans have specifically noticed her dreamy eyes. Fun fact: She loves to eat ice cream especially during the winter season!
2. Hanni
Born on October 6, 2004, Hanni Pham is Vietnamese-Australian. She is multilingual and can speak Vietnamese, English, and Korean. Alongside Minji, she also made a special appearance in BTS' "Permission To Dance" music video during her pre-debut days.
Hanni owns the stage every time she sings or dances. Watch her fancams and you'll witness her overflowing talent. Aside from that, she can also play the ukelele. And wait, there's more! Hanni earned a songwriting credit for their viral song, "Hype Boy." What an all-rounder!
3. Danielle
Danielle was born on April 11, 2005, making her an Aries. She's of Korean-Australian descent. Danielle has remarkable vocals and is incredibly good at harmonizing with her members. Also, you will love listening to her soft speaking voice which sounds so sweet because of her accent.
As a child, she appeared in some variety shows like Shinhwa Broadcast and Rainbow Kindergarten where she's known by her Korean name, Mo Ji Hye. At such a young age, her potential was already seen and it's even more evident now that she's an idol. Danielle also took part in the writing process of their hit song, "Attention."
4. Haerin
Just like her other members, Haerin can also speak both English and Korean. Her star sign is Taurus as she was born on May 15, 2006. Haerin thinks that she is unpredictable and we couldn't agree more since she emanates a mysterious vibe.
Haerin is often curious and she likes learning new things. Her eyes are like portals to her heart that are full of passion and stories to tell. On stage, she shines brightly with her skills and enthusiasm.
5. Hyein
A Taurus born on April 21, 2008, NewJeans' maknae (youngest) debuted at the age of 14. Prior to debuting as an idol, Hyein already has the spotlight on her as she started modeling when she was just eight years old. She also appeared in some magazines.
Hyein might be the youngest but she's the tallest among the five. She's another giant maknae in K-pop! This pretty girl happens to be a huge fan of BTS and also loves Harry Potter. We have an ARMY-slash-Potterhead right here!
Now that you reached this part of the story, you probably understand why NewJeans is trending. If you want to know them more, you can download Phoning, the group's *official app* where they communicate with their fans.
NewJeans is also famous among their sunbaes (senior Korean stars) who have expressed their fondness for the girl group. They truly deserve all the ~hype~ that they are getting! All eyes are on them and we are all excited to see what they have in store.
