In acknowledgment of NewJeans’ astounding success, TIME identified NewJeans as one of their “Next Generation Leaders.”

Two of NewJeans’ singles stayed on the Billboard 100 for five weeks this year, and in March the band became the fastest Korean act ever to hit 1 billion streams on Spotify in just 219 days, despite having released only a handful of songs.

The other “Next Generation Leaders” included in the list are actress Florence Pugh, journalist Rene Silva, climate activist Sage Lenier, chef and model Rōze Traore, producer and DJ Bizarrap, TikToker Drew Afualo, transgender activist Henry Tse, tech CEO Melanie Perkins, and golf star Matt Fitzpatrick. The impressive list certifies NewJeans’ global impact.

But despite all that NewJeans have accomplished, the members remain focused on their passion for music and their friendship.

In an interview with TIME, Hanni mentioned that NewJeans debuted at a fortunate time, since K-Pop has been growing quickly on a global scale.
