NewJeans

Attention

Hype Boy

It was a truly shocking and sensational debut in a good way.

Since they were a group that were doing so well, it's such a shame and disappointment because of their current situation.

1. As someone who is not too young, I came in thinking of NewJeans. It seems like their debut was that shocking. The song, the concept it was a pleasant shock.

2. By generation, it's 2NE1, Miss A and recently NewJeans, right?

3. Yeah, they were plagiarised because they were that good.

4. Normally, I only start listening to them after they debut and have a hit song, but I started listening to NewJeans' songs as soon as they debuted.

5. Seriously.. 2NE1 and Miss A were like that too but NewJeans were also a hit.

6. I agree, 2NE1 was also a real sensation because it felt like they were unique, whereas NewJeans felt like the direction of girl groups changed completely after them. They are both awesome.

7. I’ve been into girl groups since the first generation, and I think the most sensational and impactful debut is definitely NewJeans. BoA and 2NE1 might be comparable, but the rest? Not really.

8. Among the 4th generation, I agree

9. This is trueㅋㅋㅋㅋ After NewJeans debuted, you could literally see the shift in advertising, on social media, and in the idol scene overall. And thinking about how refreshing concepts started flooding in after NewJeans, plus how TikTok suddenly had tons of pretty girls who looked like Haerin popping up… you’ve gotta give credit where it’s due ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. I clicked on this screaming Attention

11. I really can't forget this

12. My heart was pounding so hard after watching their music video..

13. Both their debut and the live performance were sensational

14. Because we are from different generations, I really thought NewJeans was a sensation.

15. I also think it was NewJeans. I was in elementary school when 2NE1 and Miss A debuted, so I don't know how good they were. But by my standards, it is NewJeans.

16. Me too... I think they were a syndrome

17. I agree with NewJeans... I was shocked when I heard Hype Boy.

18. I agree, it was really shocking that they released the music video without releasing a teaser. On top of that, the members are all so pretty and unique, I've never seen them on stage before, so it was extremely shocking

19. NewJeans' are my first and last idol, the best idols in my opinion!

20. I’m in my 40s and I agree. It really felt like something you couldn’t have even imagined like something that didn’t exist before just suddenly popped into the scene.

21. It was so refreshing to suddenly drop a music video out of nowhere

22. I think they had the most sensational debut in the past 10 years...

23. I came here shouting NewJeans

24. I came in thinking about NewJeans, so I have high expectations for how Min Hee Jin will debut her male idols... I want to see NewJeans ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

25. I was even more surprised when the music video suddenly came out without any teaserㅋㅋㅋ
