NewJeans is now NJZ

<p>Attendance check to all <strong>bunnies</strong>! Chart-topping K-pop girl group “<strong>NewJeans</strong>” is ushering in a new era in their music history as “<strong>NJZ</strong>.” What’s even more surprising? They’ve completely reinvented their concept, embracing a bold and trailblazing aesthetic, rocking electrifying, edgy beauty looks.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFwH9fsxex_/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2599325.8999999985%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1022" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Known for their signature <strong>Y2K-inspired</strong> fits and aesthetic, NewJeans has had a massive influence across the globe this past few years, particularly among younger generations. Their refreshing concept segmented their group uniquely and made them outstanding in terms of generating playful sounds and sights. As their popularity continues to rise, the members have also become the faces of luxury brands, further solidifying their status as some of the most prominent figures in the contemporary K-pop scene.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739186293241Snapinst.app_432085498_448420027542382_150309167608380755_n_1080.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4P170Zy52I/?igsh=dHZ5cXN2dDlmMzZ2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@newjeans_official</a></span></span></span></div><p>Many of us eagerly anticipated their next steps after parting ways with their previous management, wondering if they could live up to the high expectations set during their rise as a global girl group. With their recent photo released as NJZ, they’ve not only met but exceeded those expectations—elevating their signature youthful energy into a more mature, hip-hop-inspired style.</p><p>Scroll over to check out the members&#x27; latest looks:</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>HANNI</strong></div><p>Before Hanni exuded this strong energy, she once danced to our screens with her silky straight hair and barely there makeup on her skin. Now, she has enchanted us through her intense gaze by wearing red fury contact lenses. To amplify her eyes more, her makeup artist placed a cluster of white falsies on the tip of her lashes, fabricating a polar glam vibe in the photograph.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739186722743Hanni 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Hanni then <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgYJw6JpsV9/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@newjeans_official</a></span></span></span><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739186782042Hanni 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Hanni now <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFwDqrOSuMM/?img_index=2&amp;igsh=bmsxczJidWQzYzlr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@njz_official</a></span></span></span><strong></strong></div><div><strong>HAERIN</strong></div><p>Lead vocalist Haerin exudes swag allure in her photos. Previously slaying the girl-crush Y2K concept, her new look features two top French braids with a few baby hairs left around her forehead, framing her beautiful face perfectly. Likewise, she wore the group’s signature red fury contacts with white dots on her lids for a distinctive beauty statement.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739186947703Haerin 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="true">Haerin then <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgYObQ3pXPQ/?img_index=2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@newjeans_official</a></span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739187032822Haerin 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Haerin now <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFwEH3KyhiU/?igsh=MW5lZzB4anoyYWt2aw%3D%3D&amp;img_index=2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@njz_official</a></span></span></span></div><div><strong>MINJI</strong></div><p>While we still can’t get over how she nailed her beauty looks during the “Super Shy,” and “Hype Boy” eras, we also love seeing her venture to a new hair and makeup styling and explore what suits her visuals more. In this latest photo, she had on perfect makeup—a flawless base, contoured edges, outlined eyes, and the prettiest brows. Take a time to analyze the playful glide of intense hues around her eyes, with bold eyeliner on her lower lids that highlight the intricate details of her red contacts. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739187158282Minji 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Minji then <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUWryHJnVE/?img_index=2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@newjeans_official</a></span></span></span><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739187194002Minji 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="true">Minji now <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFwD9lXSC0m/?igsh=dm5pMm45eHBxbnQz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@njz_official</a></span></span></span><strong>HYEIN</strong></div><p>In the past, Haerin’s hair was styled in either sweet waves or dainty braids. Now she gave us beyond what we could think of, transforming into a stronger feminine aura as NJZ. Her hair, in two lengthy French braids, highlights her Korean features well. Instead of rocking all-white falses, her makeup artist created a beautiful mix of white lashes with her natural black ones, creating a striking stare.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739187470262Hyein 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Hyein then <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgSLrghBt0B/?img_index=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@newjeans_official</a></span></span></span> <span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739187551720Hyein 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Hyein now <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFwEPQTyEWI/?img_index=1&amp;igsh=dmx3NDc5dHgxazF0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@njz_official</a></span></span></span></div><div><strong>DANIELLE</strong></div><p>Remember when Danielle used to have natural curls? Now, she looks good in a cool Chinese twist braid with glazed lips. Her face card was enhanced with frosted eye makeup and wispy white lashes on the tips. Her brows were evenly emphasized using tinted pigments, further highlighting her distinctly Aussie features.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739187652702Danielle 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Danielle then <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgX-J1nBMtL/?img_index=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@newjeans_official</a></span></span></span> <span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739187695882Danielle 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Danielle now <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFwDzH2yz9i/?igsh=YTlzN3E0OHVmOGt6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@njz_official</a></span></span></span></div><p>Do you love this new era of NJZ?</p><div><br/></div><p>Banner photo via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/njz_official/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@njz_official</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/complex/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@complex</a></p>
