Did you know?
- The group's name 뉴진스 is a pun on the phrase 'new genes', suggesting they want to create a new paradigm in K-pop.
- In Korean, the final 's' sound in 'jeans' is expanded into an extra syllable 스 (seu), making the name technically four syllables in Korean pronunciation.
- The phrase 뉴진스 is a loanword transcription, meaning it mimics the English sounds using the Korean alphabet rather than translating 'new' and 'jeans' into native Korean words.
