NewJeans, the acclaimed K-pop female group, is set to make history by winning the prestigious Group of the Year award at the 2024 Billboard Women In Music Awards. The ceremony, hosted by Billboard annually since 2007, is designed to honor women who have made notable contributions to the music industry. NewJeans is scheduled to attend the event at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, according to their agency, Ador.

The group's recognition comes on the heels of their second EP, "Get Up," which propelled them to the top of Billboard's main album chart, the Billboard 200, dated August 5. This accomplishment marks NewJeans' swift ascent to the summit, setting a record for the fastest career debut to top the Billboard 200 in the history of K-pop.

In addition to their Album chart success, NewJeans dominated Billboard's Hot 100 with multiple singles, including "OMG," "Ditto," "Super Shy," "ETA," and "Cool With You" throughout the past year. Their triumphs extend to the global stage, as they secured the title of Top Global K-pop Artist at the previous Billboard Music Awards.

The upcoming accolade at the Billboard Women In Music Awards further solidifies NewJeans' impact, emphasizing their status as the first K-pop female act to achieve such recognition. Their groundbreaking achievements include being the inaugural K-pop female group to perform at the Billboard Music Awards, underscoring their prominence on the international music scene. Other notable honorees at this year's ceremony include Ice Spice for the Hitmaker award, Victoria Monet for the Rising Star award, and Kylie Minogue for the Icon award.
