K-pop group NewJeans, which features Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein, burst onto the scene with their single “Attention” in July 2022. Less than a year into their official launch, they have already become one of the biggest names in fashion circles. The group’s fast rise to fame has seen them land ambassadorships ranging from everyday brands like Levi’s to luxury houses like Gucci.
Recently, NewJeans member Haerin was named a brand ambassador for Dior. The momentum the group is seeing doesn’t look like it will come to a halt anytime soon. WWD takes a closer look at the brand ambassadorships that NewJeans has racked up.
