U.S. chart, five on the Hot 100, and six on the World Digital Song Sales chart, according to Billboard.

But the young group’s achievements don’t stop here. Earlier this year, in February, the five members were honored with Billboard’s Women in Music Group of the Year award, solidifying their status as a leading force in the music scene despite being so young.
The group’s ability to connect with a diverse audience through their energetic performances and relatable music has set them apart in the competitive K-Pop industry. Their inclusion in the “21 Under 21” list highlights not only their past accomplishments but also their potential for future success. Even though so young, NewJeans continue to break old records and set new ones all the time — making it look way too easy.
Billboard even mentions one of the members’ words regarding how social media has helped them reach wider audiences in their list.
Hanni, one of the group’s members, attributes their global success to the power of social media. ‘It has become easier to reach wider audiences regardless of language or any other type of barriers,’ she explains. ‘That is something we definitely don’t take for granted.’
