Girl group NewJeans continues its global success even during its hiatus from activities.

According to Spotify, the global audio and music streaming platform, on the 14th, "Cool With You," one of the triple title tracks from NewJeans' second EP "Get Up," has been played 301,077,778 times as of the 12th. It is the team's 11th song to surpass 300 million streams in total.

"Cool With You," released in July 2023, is a track notable for its sophisticated beat based on UK Garage rhythms and NewJeans' attractive yet restrained vocals. The song gained popularity by entering the US Billboard "Hot 100" (dated August 5, 2023) upon its release. It was also selected as one of the "Best Songs" of 2023 by the UK magazine Timeout at the end of that year.

NewJeans expanded its performance spectrum by showcasing contemporary dance incorporating modern ballet in "Cool With You." The music video, which featured global stars Yang Jo-wi and Jung Ho-yeon and left a strong impression, was also well-received.

The combined cumulative number of Spotify plays for all songs released by NewJeans to date exceeds 8.2 billion. "Ditto," "OMG," and "Super Shy" have each surpassed 900 million plays, while "Hype Boy" has exceeded 800 million. "New Jeans" and "Attention" have each surpassed 500 million, "ETA" has exceeded 400 million, "Cookie," "How Sweet," "Hurt," and "Cool With You" have each surpassed 300 million, "Supernatural" and "ASAP" have each exceeded 200 million, and "Get Up," "Bubble Gum," and "Right Now" have each surpassed 100 million plays.

Previously, in November 2024, NewJeans members Minji, Hani, Haerin, Hyein, and Danielle unilaterally notified of contract termination, claiming that their exclusive contracts with their agency Ador had been breached. However, the following October, after losing the first-instance lawsuit to confirm the validity of their exclusive contracts with Ador, the members expressed their intent to return to Ador one by one without appealing the decision.

However, Ador did not retain all five members. In December last year, Ador notified Danielle that they could no longer continue together as a NewJeans member and terminated her exclusive contract. Subsequently, Ador filed a lawsuit for damages against Danielle, one of his family members, and Min Hee-jin, seeking compensation in the range of 43.1 billion won. The claimed amount was later adjusted to approximately 33.09 billion won and submitted to the court.

Currently, Danielle, his family member, and Min Hee-jin are engaged in legal battles with Ador.

NewJeans, which expelled Danielle, has reorganized as a four-piece group and is preparing for its comeback. In July last month, Ador released a special film on its official social media to commemorate the fourth anniversary of NewJeans' debut.
