SEOUL, Jan. 18 (Yonhap) – South Korean rookie girl group NewJeans has successfully landed on the Billboard Hot 100, only 6 months after their debut, according to the group’s agency ADOR Wednesday.

Billboard celebrated the quintet’s entrance to the chart on its Instagram account, announcing that ‘Ditto,’ the group’s pre-released song of their EP ‘OMG,’ has made it to No.96 on the “Billboard Hot 100” chart. NewJeans landed on the Hot 100 chart as the first group among the South Korean rookie artists who made their debut after Sept. 2016.

The monster rookie group had already witnessed public affinity for the group worldwide by entering the “UK Singles Chart Top 100” as No.95.

Meanwhile, “LOVE YOURSELF 承 Her,” a track in BTS’ 5th EP, made a surprising return to the Billboard main album chart, “Billboard 200,” as No.13. The release of the LP version of the track is analyzed to have acted as a fillip for the re-entrance. This song by BTS had already proved its global popularity when it was first released in Sept. 2017, landing on the Hot 100 as No.7.
