NewJeans: The controversy shaking the K-pop world

Their music, which has been described by critics as fusing the old-school R&B sounds of bands like TLC with playful and hooky melodies, grabbed the attention of the K-pop world and beyond.

Their first single Attention topped Korean charts right after their debut in July. And their hit song SuperShy made multiple "best of the year" lists at the end of 2023, including those compiled by Rolling Stone, NME and Billboard Magazine.
