SEOUL, May 16 (Yonhap) -- K-pop girl group NewJeans has released a special performance video, making them the first K-pop girl group to perform at Geunjeongjeon Hall in Gyeongbokgung Palace.

This video is a recording of a special stage performance for the "2024 Korea On Stage" event, organized by the Cultural Heritage Service and hosted by TV broadcaster KBS.
