NewJeans was helmed under ADOR, a newly created subsidiary of the HYBE Labels umbrella, under the direction of Min Hee Jin, who was named CEO of ADOR, a name standing for “All Doors, One Room.” A group launched under a newly created subsidiary ties the group’s story to the label’s. After unveiling music videos for “Attention,” “Hype Boy” and the sparse a cappella-based b-side “Hurt” through July, they released the full four-track EP NWJNS on 1 August worldwide. Every member of NewJeans was born between 2004 and 2008, and NME noted that they have adopted nostalgic stylings and sounds of the ’90s and early 2000s, from the subtle R&B that influences songs like “Attention” to chunky platforms and tartan. Styling and sounds of the ’90s and early 2000s taken up by members born between 2004 and 2008 can be read as nostalgia borrowed rather than remembered. Hanni says, “‘Hype Boy,’ I think, just had that type of fresh but familiar sound,” and that the dance leaves more opportunities to make eye contact with the other members and play around. Eye contact in the dance and watching one another throughout the recording process both place the members’ attention on each other. Minji earned her debut songwriting credit on their December song “Ditto,” and has described how a main image of a winter mountain that felt cold but warm at the same time popped into her head when she heard it. A winter image that felt cold but warm at once suggests a mood the song holds in two directions at the same time. The members have said they all watched each other throughout the whole recording process and got a better sense of what makes one another’s vocals unique. With each release the members have gotten into a rhythm and have a routine for going into recording sessions, and Hanni says, “It’s important for us to be really familiar with the song.” In December 2023 they released their first remix album, NJWMX, comprising songs from New Jeans and OMG remixed by the South Korean producers 250 and FRNK. At the Billboard Women in Music event they became the first K-pop group to win Group of the Year. A remix album and an award together give the group’s story a second chapter beyond its first EP.
