[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The group NewJeans has successfully concluded activities for their debut album ‘New Jeans,’ which set records amid various buzz.

On the 28th, NewJeans wrapped up four weeks of broadcast activities with their appearance on SBS’s ‘Inkigayo.’ On that day, NewJeans took first place with their debut song ‘Attention,’ achieving a grand slam of five music show wins.

The members expressed through their agency ADOR, “Every moment on stage and meeting our fans was so precious and happy. We are truly grateful for the immense love shown to our debut album, which we prepared very hard.”

Previously, NewJeans debuted with the release of the music video for the first title track ‘Attention’ from their debut album on the 22nd of last month, drawing attention in the K-pop market by setting new records on various charts. ‘Attention’ by NewJeans topped the real-time, daily, and weekly charts of major domestic music sites immediately upon release.

On the 15th, NewJeans became the first K-pop girl group to occupy the top four spots on the Korean Spotify ‘Daily Top Songs’ chart and the top four on the ‘Weekly Top Songs’ chart (tracking period August 12?18). On the 16th, NewJeans reached number one on the Korean Spotify ‘Daily Top Artists’ chart, marking the first time a K-pop girl group has achieved this.

The album sales also showed remarkable results. NewJeans’ debut album ‘New Jeans’ sold 262,815 copies on its release day, August 8. This is the highest first-day sales for a debut album by an idol group since September 2019 and a new record for first-day sales of a girl group debut album.

During the first week after the album release (tracking period August 8?14), NewJeans sold a total of 311,271 copies, setting a new record for the highest first-week sales (initial sales) for a girl group debut album. Additionally, NewJeans charted on the US Billboard charts for three consecutive weeks, demonstrating their full potential as a global K-pop star.

NewJeans expressed their gratitude, saying, “We were able to enjoy our activities so much because of the fans who always cheer us on energetically.” They added, “We will cherish the excitement of our first stage, the cheers of our fans, and all the happy emotions and gratitude we felt during our activities. We will always do our best as NewJeans for everyone who loves our music.”
