MEMBER STATS

Vocals

There are no official designated positions within NewJeans; thus, there is no “main vocal” or “main rapper” of the team.

Rather than focusing on belting high notes or powerful raps, NewJeans’ vocals are known for being delicate and mellow, in line with the influence of the 90s Urban R&B genre prevalent throughout their discography. NewJeans also does not use “guide vocals” or “demo vocals,” which is unusual for K-Pop, opting instead to develop the members’ own style of singing. All of the members have distinctive vocal tones and have mostly equal shares of “killing parts.”

Even though NewJeans tracks do not include proper rap verses, tracks such as “Super Shy,” “ETA,” or “OMG” feature singing raps or short spoken verses that sound like rap.

Dance

NewJeans have been praised for their dance abilities; most of their choreo is based on hip-hop and groovy movements, and the members are skilled in power control and fluidity. Most NewJeans choreography are known for giving an “authentic” vibe, by having all of the members dance differently instead of having a super-synchronized routine from beginning to end. The members’ individual dancing styles are highlighted more for year-end or award show stages, where each member gets a special dance break to newly remixed versions of NewJeans’ songs.

Even though there is no designated “main dancer” of the team, Haerin and Hanni are generally regarded as the “dance line” of the team.

Visual

NewJeans have been praised as a “group of all-visuals” by the fandom and the general public. They were known as “natural, girl-next-door-type beauties” upon debut, with their straight black hair and minimal makeup. As NewJeans have branched out to embrace more diverse visual concepts, including balletcore, cheerleading outfits, 90s/2000s y2k hip-hop styling, school uniforms, water nymphs and more, they have become fashion and beauty icons for the global “MZ generation.” The members are all active ambassadors for global luxury fashion brands.

There is no official center or visual member in NewJeans.
