Thereby, the song achieved Triple platinum certification in the streaming category. This is the first time a K-pop girl group has received this certification, marking a new milestone in the group's career in the Japanese market.
Ditto was released on December 19, 2022, featuring 40+ club dance colorists combined with NewJeans signature minimalist style. The song impressed with a dreamy melody, warm harmony and gentle voice of the members. Right after its release, the song quickly created a global impact when it appeared on Billboard Hot 100 (US) and Official Singles Top 100 (UK) respectively, just 6 months after the group debuted. In Korea, Ditto topped the Melon Yearly Chart 2023, thereby strengthening NewJeans position as one of the top girl groups in new generation K-pop.
Not only did it create a buzz when it was released, Ditto also proved its enduring appeal. At the Music Award Japan 2025 ceremony held in May, the song was honored in the category of "Best K-pop Song in Japan", reflecting its widespread popularity and ability to maintain long-term heat.
In addition to the new achievement of Ditto, NewJeans also owns a series of impressive certifications in Japan. The group has two double platinum certifications for OMG (8.2024) and Hype Boy (8.2025), along with three platinum certifications for ETA, Super Shy (both on May 2024) and Attention (8.2024). Continuously expanding their achievements shows NewJeans' growing influence in this demanding music market.
The Triple Platinum certification for Ditto is not only an important milestone for NewJeans, but also contributes to affirming the power of the K-pop wave in Japan in recent years.
