She said, “After making their debut in 2022, NewJeans has helped lead a new wave of girl groups in K-pop, a genre long dominated by men. They built both a core fan base at home in Korea and worldwide.”
Accepting the award amidst cheers from adoring fans, NewJeans expressed gratitude for the support that has propelled them to success. “To be part of the music industry today is something we don’t take for granted and it wouldn’t have been possible without a lot of help from people and all the support we received,” remarked Hanni.
NewJeans’ partnership with Coke Studio, Coca-Cola’s global music platform, further underscores their influence and reach. Through initiatives like Coke Studio, the group continues to champion women in music and connect with audiences worldwide.

Reflecting on their journey, Danielle shared, “Reflecting back on these past two years, we have been so incredibly blessed. We got to experience so many new and exciting things. And it’s been just the best year, the best year. All of these things wouldn’t have been possible without you guys, Bunnies. And also our family, our friends, our CEO, ADOR and of course, each other.”
