NewJeans to make comeback in May
Good news, Bunnies! NewJeans is set to have their comeback soon.
According to Korean entertainment media outlet Soompi, the South Korean girl group is returning to the K-pop scene on May 24 with a double single consisting of four tracks such as How Sweet and Bubble Gum as well as instrumental versions of both songs. The latter will be released first as a background song for a Japanese shampoo commercial in April.
NewJeans will drop their Japanese single album Supernatural the following month, marking their official debut in Japan. It will feature the title track, Right Now, alongside two other instrumental songs.
Right Now will also be pre-released as a commercial song in Japan and South Korea in May.
Soompi reported that the band is also preparing a new album that's slated for release in the latter part of 2024. They're also planning their first global tour for 2025.
Composed of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein, NewJeans received the Group of the Year Award at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music event held earlier this month.
They're known for their girl-next-door image and 1990s- and 2000s-indebted pop and R&B songs, popularizing K-pop songs like ETA, OMG, and Cool With You, among others.
They visited the country in December for the 2023 Asia Artists Awards (AAA), which took place at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
