NewJeans, the K-pop sensation, is set to headline the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards on May 6, marking the second instance of a K-pop female act receiving this honor and performing at the prestigious event, following Twice.
Acknowledged as the Group of the Year, NewJeans earned this accolade at the Billboard's annual celebration, recognizing influential women in the global music industry. Their album "Get Up" (2023) claimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the fifth best-selling album in the United States last year—an unprecedented feat for a K-pop girl group since Taylor Swift's "1989 (Taylor's Version)" (2023).
