NewJeans first visited the Philippines last December for the 2023 Asia Artist Awards, where they won Singer Of The Year and Song Of The Year with “Ditto”. Alongside the likes of fellow K-pop acts Le Sserafim, Stray Kids, and SEVENTEEN’s BSS, as well as P-pop act SB19, the “How Sweet” hitmakers also performed at the prestigious awards ceremony.
NewJeans most recently released their single album, How Sweet which featured their tracks “How Sweet” and “Bubble Gum”. The group also made their Japanese debut, with Supernatural. Both releases follow their critically acclaimed sophomore EP, Get Up which features hit tracks like “Super Shy”, “ETA”, and “Cool With You”.
NewJeans performed “How Sweet” as part of Coca-Cola’s global music program, Coke Studios earlier this year. This comes as the group’s latest collaboration with the brand, following the release of their single “Zero” in 2023.
