NewJeans

South Korean pop group introduced by ADOR in 2022, whose debut combined contemporary K-pop production with a deliberately nostalgic visual and graphic language.

Overview

NewJeans

NewJeans were introduced in July 2022 with Attention before the release of their debut EP New Jeans. The original five-member lineup comprised Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein. Their early presentation drew heavily on Y2K references, restrained branding and carefully integrated fashion, video and packaging.

Why it matters

Within TMR, NewJeans is relevant less as celebrity documentation than as an example of contemporary pop culture in which music, fashion, graphic identity, physical packaging and collectible media operate as one designed system.
