NewJeans is "preparing and practising" for their comeback. The South Korean girl group – comprising Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein – "can’t wait to share new music with everyone", but they are keep tight-lipped on when that will be.

Speaking on the red carpet at Billboard's Women in Music event – where they were crowned Group of the Year – in Los Angeles this week, Danielle said: “Well, I mean we can’t spoil too much. I’m just gonna say that we’re preparing and practising hard.”

The girls have released two EPs, a self-titled collection in 2022 and 2023's Get Up.

NewJeans – who formed in 2022 – has played a handful of music festivals and awards show, including Lollapalooza and Summer Sonic Festival last summer, but the band has yet to do a headline tour.

The group performed in Singapore on Feb 3 this year at a closed-door event at Nike Orchard Road.  

The five-piece also released the League of Legends World Championship soundtrack in 2023, where they had "fun" exploring a "new genre" to them with Gods, which was penned by Riot Games’ principal composer Sebastien Najand and Mako’s Alex Seaver.

The band said: “It was fun to try a new genre and sound. Through this collaboration, we are happy to present a song that incorporates both NewJeans’ and League of Legends’ unique colours. We hope it brings you a new sense of empowerment!”
