NewJeans Set to Make U.S. Awards Show Debut on 2023 Billboard Music Awards

NewJeans Set to Make U.S. Awards Show Debut on 2023 Billboard Music Awards

K-pop girl group NewJeans will make their U.S. awards show performance debut at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, which are just 11 days away. They are the third BBMAs performers to be announced, following Peso Pluma and Bebe Rexha & David Guetta.

Performances and awards will roll out across BBMAs and Billboard social channels, as well as via BBMAs.watch, on Sunday, Nov. 19, beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The quintet, which consists of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein, will perform “Super Shy” and “OMG,” two of their five songs that made the Hot 100 this year. In August, NewJeans’ 2nd EP ‘Get Up’ entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 1, edging out Barbie: The Album.

NewJeans is a finalist for five BBMAs this year, putting them in a tie with Eslabon Armado for the most entries by a group. They’re up for top global K-pop artist; top Billboard global (excl. U.S.) artist; top K-pop album for 2ndEP ‘Get Up’; and top global K-pop song for both “Ditto” and “OMG.”

In addition to their achievements on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200, NewJeans have had three top 10 hits on the Billboard Global 200; four top 10 hits on the Billboard Global (Excl. U.S.) chart; and six top 10 hits on the World Digital Song Sales chart.

Taylor Swift is the top finalist at the 2023 BBMAs with 20 nods. Morgan Wallen and SZA are runners-up, with 17 entries each. They are followed by The Weeknd (16); Drake and Zach Bryan (14); Luke Combs (10); 21 Savage, Metro Boomin and Miley Cyrus (nine each); Beyoncé and Rema (seven each); Bad Bunny and Peso Pluma (six each); and Ariana Grande, David Guetta, Eslabon Armado, Karol G, NewJeans and Selena Gomez (five each).

The 2023 Billboard Music Awards Presented by Marriott Bonvoy will honor the year’s hottest names in music determined by year-end performance metrics on the Billboard charts. The program, produced by dick clark productions, will deliver a reimagined awards show concept that will entertain fans with music and exclusive content. Performances and award celebrations will take place in global locations, in the midst of sold-out tours, and in custom venues.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, the BBMAs and Spotify Fans First have teamed up to identify fans who have consumed the most hours of music over the past year and helped drive their favorite artists to the top spots on the Billboard charts. These fans will receive a “golden ticket” granting them access to attend a performance curated by their favorite artists, expressly for the 2023 BBMAs.

The 2023 BBMAs is presented by Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott’s travel program and marketplace. One special BBMAs performance and two exclusive acceptance speeches will be hosted at hotel brands within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. Additionally, Marriott Bonvoy will provide a select group of fans access to attend five BBMAs performances via Marriott Bonvoy Moments.

Other sponsors include Lexus, who will surprise a fan with the ultimate VIP treatment. In addition to having the best seat in the house, they’ll enjoy a private ride in a Lexus vehicle to the one-of-a-kind performance.
