Girl group NewJeans has just set a new milestone in their career by becoming the first idol group to own three songs certified 2x platinum on the Korean Streaming Circle Chart.
According to the criteria of this ranking, each 2x platinum certification is equivalent to 200 million streams in Korea.
Three songs helped NewJeans make their mark including "Hype Boy", "Ditto" and "Attention" - hits that have contributed to making the group one of the most prominent musical phenomena in K-pop today. This achievement helped NewJeans surpass the previous record of BTS, who owned two songs certified 2x platinum.
Hype Boy and Attention are included in the 2022 album, quickly spreading their appeal thanks to their catchy melody and new musical style. Meanwhile, Ditto - released at the end of 2022 - has become a global phenomenon.
This achievement not only affirms NewJeans' attraction in the Korean market, but also shows the group's strong influence on the younger generation of listeners. The breakthrough of BTS - the world's leading K-pop group - is considered an important turning point, proving NewJeans' position.
