A few weeks ago, NewJeans was named the 'Group of the Year' for the 2024 Billboard Women in Music.

Now, on February 28, NewJeans was featured in the 2024 issue of Billboard Women in Music and celebrated for their accomplishments.

Billboard highlighted, "Since debuting in July 2022, NewJeans has swiftly ascended to the top of the K-pop pantheon. Six of its eight released singles have reached No. 1 or No. 2 on South Korea’s dominant streaming measure, the Circle Digital Chart. The act has made inroads on several Billboard charts as well, including three top 10 hits on the Global 200 and four on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, five entries on the Billboard Hot 100, and six top 10s on World Digital Song Sales (the highest-reaching was “Super Shy,” peaking at No. 2 last July)."

In the interview released today, the members expressed their gratitude and shared their thoughts on how everyone had contributed to making their journey possible.

Hanni shared, "It was really surreal to win such big awards. Honestly, for us, when it comes to these types of awards shows, we are just excited to be there. Just to be invited is an honor. We never expected [to win]. We really are just thankful for everyone who has put in a lot of hard work toward our content and music and all the people that really enjoyed it, so I think it just makes it more fun."

The members also delved into their album production process, and Danielle revealed, "When our CEO has a new song and she’s prepared to make a new album, she gets us all in her studio and we listen to all the songs together. I remember the first time we heard the songs for our album Get Up, we were just blown away. Because we truly were just like, 'This is so us! This is so NewJeans.' When I first heard 'Ditto,' I felt a connection to it — I guess I felt if people hear this, I want them to feel they’re healed in some way. So to know that people out there are receiving somewhat of a positive energy, it’s really amazing. Every time we release new music, we wonder if people are going to enjoy it just as much as we do. To see people out there jamming to our songs puts a really big smile on our faces."

Danielle also shared, "Besides music and performing, I just want to become someone who stays true to myself and is always open-hearted and open-minded and modest and tries really hard because there are so many things I want to do and so many places I want to go. I want to experience a lot and learn a lot and just enjoy the time being with the [NewJeans] members." 

Minji also shared her goals and explained, "I want our music to be remembered for a long time. For example, I want people to think of last winter when they hear 'Ditto'."

Meanwhile, NewJeans will be performing at the 'Billboard Women in Music' ceremony on March 6 at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles.
