NewJeans adorned the cover of the U.S. Billboard magazine. The theme of this month's issue of Billboard magazine is "Women in Music," and NewJeans, who was selected as the "Group of the Year Award" at the "2024 Billboard Women In Music Awards," graced the cover. Billboard published NewJeans' photos and interviews on its official website on the 28th (local time). Billboard emphasized their remarkable achievements on the global charts, stating that "they debuted in 2022 and quickly rose to the top of the K-POP world with powerful energy, loved by fans not only in Korea but around the world." The magazine explained that NewJeans, as part of the girls' group generation, is changing the paradigm of success for young female groups, achieving both commercial success (album and concert ticket sales) and building a passionate fandom. Billboard referred to Min Hee-jin, NewJeans' executive producer, as the background to this phenomenon, adding that "NewJeans achieved this under the teachings of an innovative leader." In an interview with Billboard, they showed a humble attitude, saying, "Before our debut, Executive Producer Min Hee-jin said he wanted us to do something fresh and extraordinary. We wanted music that everyone, young and old, male and female, could enjoy, and as a result, easy-listening songs were born." They also added, "Rather than setting special goals (to change K-POP), we just wanted to sing the songs we liked and perform. Thanks to that, we think that fans liked us from the beginning." In response to the question "What wishes do you want to fulfill in the future?" they expressed their wish to "move people with our songs, share emotions with people on stage, and through music. We want our music to be remembered for a long time. For example, we want everyone to listen to 'Ditto' and remember last winter." The "Billboard Women In Music Awards" selects and awards top female artists, creators, producers, and executives who have had a significant impact on the music industry over the past year. NewJeans is not only the only K-POP female artist to be listed, but also plans to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on March 6th and perform.
