Girl group NewJeans has broken yet another record.

According to Spotify on the 14th, the track "Hurt" from NewJeans' debut album "New Jeans" reached a cumulative total of 305,024,100 streams as of the 12th. This marks the group's 10th song to surpass 300 million streams in their career.

The combined cumulative stream count for all songs released by NewJeans on Spotify is approaching 8 billion. "Ditto" and "OMG" each exceeded 900 million streams, "Super Shy" surpassed 800 million, "Hype Boy" exceeded 700 million, "New Jeans" and "Attention" each surpassed 500 million, "ETA" exceeded 400 million, "Cookie," "How Sweet," and "Hurt" each surpassed 300 million, "Cool With You" and "Supernatural" each exceeded 200 million, while "ASAP," "Get Up," "Bubble Gum," and "Right Now" each surpassed 100 million streams.

NewJeans members Minji, Hani, Haerin, Hyein, and Daniel claimed in November 2024 that their exclusive contract with ADOR was terminated due to ADOR's breach of contract, and they unilaterally notified the termination of their agreement. However, in a first-instance lawsuit in October of the following year confirming the validity of their exclusive contract with ADOR, the members lost the case and subsequently announced their intention to return to ADOR without filing an appeal.

However, ADOR did not welcome all five members back. In December last year, ADOR notified Daniel that he could no longer continue as a member of NewJeans and filed a lawsuit seeking damages in the range of 43.1 billion won against Daniel, one of his family members, and Min Hee-jin. The claimed amount was later adjusted to approximately 33.09 billion won and submitted to the court.

Currently, Daniel, his family, and Min Hee-jin are engaged in legal proceedings with ADOR.

NewJeans, having removed Daniel from the group, is currently reorganizing as a four-member unit and preparing for their comeback. Last month, ADOR released a special film on its official social media channels to commemorate NewJeans' fourth anniversary since debut.
