NewJeans log 700m Spotify streams with ‘Super Shy'
'Super Shy' from NewJeans hit the 700 million listens mark on Spotify as of last week, Ador said Monday, citing the platform.
This is the third time the group has done so, following 'OMG' and 'Ditto.'
'Super Shy' was unveiled in 2023 as one of the three main tracks from NewJeans' second EP, 'Get Up.' It spent eight weeks on Billboard's Hot 100, peaking at No. 48 and nine on the UK Official Singles Top 100, rising to No. 52. The liquid drum 'n' bass tune was picked as one of the best 25 K-pop songs in 2023 by Billboard magazine.
The quintet suspended all activities last week after a South Korean court upheld an injunction request by Ador to prohibit any independent activities. NewJeans have been seeking to leave the agency, citing mistreatment, which led Ador to file a motion for contract verification in December 2024.

BTS' Jimin, Jungkook set to finish military service
Jimin and Jungkook, members of K-pop megagroup BTS, will be discharged from the South Korean military on Wednesday after completing their 18-month mandatory service, as fans eagerly await their return. The two stars enlisted together as active-duty soldiers in December 2023 and have been serving in the Army's 5th Infantry Division Artillery Brigade. Their discharge follows that of Jin and J-Hope, who completed their service in June and October of last year, respectively, and RM and V, who were discharged Tuesday. The K-pop septet is anticipated to return as a full group after Suga, who is serving as a social service agent due to health issues, completes his duty on June 21. Jimin and Jungkook, both vocalists of the band, have also actively pursued solo projects, each topping the US Billboard's main singles chart, Hot 100, with their singles "Like Crazy" and "Seven." In January, Jimin expressed his strong desire to return to the stage in a post on Hybe's K-pop fan community platform Weverse. "After the new year, the conversations Jungkook and I have before going to sleep have changed a lot," Jimin wrote. "Because the day when we'll reunite with ARMY is getting closer and closer, we're having many conversations about what we need to prepare before we meet them again, what we'll show and what kind of lives we'll lead in the future."
