NewJeans Celebrates Its New EP With Bunnyland Pop-Ups, Interactive Playlists, and Larger-Than-Life Installations

August 1, 2023

Since debuting last summer, NewJeans has made waves in the music world, attracting more than 24 million monthly listeners globally and being named a Spotify EQUAL global ambassador. Last month, the K-Pop quintet released its sophomore EP, Get Up, which garnered more than 211 million Spotify streams and proved that the band is a force to be reckoned with. 

To celebrate this highly anticipated release, we’ve teamed up NewJeans to bring their fans larger-than-life pop-ups, exclusive bonus content, and interactive playlist experiences. 

Get up close and personal with NewJeans

Our celebration with NewJeans starts with the Bunnyland website, an immersive experience that lets Spotify fans around the world find out which NewJeans member is their biggest hero based on their music tastes. After being matched with one of NewJeans’s stars—MINJI, HANNI, DANIELLE, HAERIN, or HYEIN—users can listen to a special playlist curated by their hero and share their results on social media.

And after fans have streamed the playlist, they can check out the playlists from the other NewJeans members by visiting the Bunnyland Official profile on Spotify. 

In addition, fans can discover more about the group and their music through exclusive bonus content. By visiting K-Pop ON!’s YouTube and video podcast channels, fans can access interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and more.

Step into NewJeans’ Bunnyland dream world

Last Friday, we opened the doors to a pair of Bunnyland pop-ups in Seoul and Jakarta. Running through August 6, this experience was created to immerse fans in NewJeans’ world. Featuring retro, Spotibunini-themed arcade games, playlist stations, and plenty of photo opportunities, Bunnyland offers fans chill vibes and the chance to get their hands on a range of special gifts from Spotify and NewJeans.

Jeans have been a beloved wardrobe staple for generations—something that rising K-pop group NewJeans knew all too well when adopting their name. The group set out to create crowd-pleasing songs that you can’t help but keep on your playlists and put on daily. They’re off to a rocking start: With their August 2022 debut of three singles, including “Attention,” they charted on Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs U.S. chart, a first for any newly debuted K-pop group. 

Composed of MINJI, HANNI, DANIELLE, HAERIN, and HYEIN, all singers who hail from Korea and beyond, NewJeans is the first release from ADOR, an independent label under HYBE led by MIN HEE JIN. Creating authentic music that radiates a youthful spirit, the group aspires to push the boundaries of the K-pop scene. (You can hear more from them in K-Pop ON! Track.)

In January, NewJeans joined Spotify’s EQUAL Global Music Program as our ambassador of the month. EQUAL aims to combat gender disparity in the music industry by amplifying and celebrating the work of women creators around the world. NewJeans’ music was featured heavily on the EQUAL Global playlist throughout the month. 

The newcomers were humbled by the love and support they received worldwide following their first EP, New Jeans. In OMG, NewJeans’ very first winter release, they tackle relationships, attraction, and devotion in a deeper way.
