Hits the Spot | Backstage at NewJeans’ First-Ever US Show

In this special edition of Hits the Spot, we traveled to the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago to catch up with NewJeans backstage before their debut U.S. performance. NewJeans burst onto the K-pop scene in summer 2022 with their debut single, “Attention.” Less than one year later, NewJeans broke the Guinness World Record for fastest K-pop group to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. We sat down with MINJI, HANNI, DANIELLE, HAERIN, and HYEIN to cover everything from DANIELLE’s favorite surfing spot to the song HANNI loves to play on ukulele and which Harry Potter house each member would reside. Ten points if you can guess who’s in Slytherin! Listen to Super Shy, Attention, ETA, and Love Is Easy right now on our Hits the Spot Spotify playlist:
