NewJeans, a new girl group from HYBE, made K-pop history even before their debut. After the release of their debut music video for their title tune, Attention, the five-member female group, formed by HYBE’s sub-label ADOR and led by former SM Entertainment creative director Min Hee Jin, piqued the interest of the audience.
The upcoming self-titled debut EP from NewJeans has already topped 444,000 stock pre-orders in Gaon history in just four days, according to an official announcement made on July 28 by HYBE and ADOR.
With this, NewJeans has broken the previous record for the most stock pre-orders for a girl group’s debut album.

The five-member act, which consists of Minji, Hanni, Hyein, Haerin, and Danielle, has quickly grabbed the hearts of K-pop fans because to their excellent music and content, minimum promotional efforts, and risky decision to release the group’s songs without warning.
With their recent achievement of 444,000 stock pre-orders in just four days, the girl group is ascending to new heights, and fans are excited to see what else they can accomplish.

For those who are unfamiliar, the quantity of album stock created before to an album’s release is indicated by the number of stock pre-orders. The number represents the expected demand determined by a number of variables, including the number of albums that fans pre-ordered.
The Hurt hitmakers have eclipsed aespa, who received 401, 000 stock pre-orders for Savage, with this new milestone.
Within only 3 days of preorder, #NewJeans smashed the record of the highest girlgroup debut album preorder in Gaon history – already past 440k sales.
Previous record belonged to aespa with “Savage” – 401k.

Like a pair of everyday denim jeans that are always in style, the group strives to be stylish and enduring symbols. The term “New Genes” is also used in the name.
The girl group’s songs are all available on the official YouTube channel of HYBE LABELS, but none have been released yet on any music streaming services.
