K-pop group NewJeans has secured the Outstanding Work Award for two consecutive years at the ‘Japan Record Awards,’ aiming for the grand prize. According to ADOR, NewJeans’ “Supernatural” was recognized for its popularity, artistry, and originality among the songs released this year, being the only foreign artist’s work to be selected. It has also been nominated for the grand prize at the awards ceremony, which will be broadcast live on December 30, raising fans’ expectations.
Last year, NewJeans attracted attention by winning the Outstanding Work Award and Special Award even before their official debut in Japan. This time, they plan to continue meeting with Japanese fans by appearing on Nihon TV’s ‘Best Artist 2024’ and Fuji TV’s ‘2024 FNS Song Festival.’ Notably, on December 31, they plan to wrap up the year spectacularly by becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform on the stage of ‘COUNTDOWN JAPAN 24/25.’
This year, NewJeans achieved remarkable success in Japan. “Supernatural,” released in June, topped the Oricon chart and received a Gold Disc certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan. The album has sold over 1.26 million copies so far, proving NewJeans’ popularity in the global market. Additionally, NewJeans held a fan meeting at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, recording a sellout as the foreign artist with the shortest time to achieve such a feat, attracting a total of over 91,200 audience members.
Meanwhile, NewJeans’ agency ADOR is drawing attention due to the resignation of former CEO Min HeeJin. Her resignation is amplifying expectations and curiosity about NewJeans’ future. Fans and industry insiders are focused on what steps NewJeans will take next.
