In a groundbreaking move, NewJeans is set to become the first K-pop girl group to perform at one of the three major US music awards, the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs). The official announcement was made by the BBMAs as they unveiled the performer lineup for this year's ceremony on social media platforms.

NewJeans is slated to showcase their hits "Super Shy" and "OMG," both of which secured a place on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. This marks a significant moment, as, until now, BTS stood as the sole K-pop group to perform at the Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and the esteemed Billboard Music Awards.

The group has had a remarkable year on the Billboard charts, achieving the fastest debut album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with their mini-album, "Get Up," released in July.

NewJeans made a notable impact on the Hot 100, with five songs, including "OMG," "Dito," "Super Shy," "ETA," and "Cool With You." Their global success is evident, with three songs making it to the Global 200 chart and four to the Global (excluding the US) chart within the top 10.

Based on these achievements, NewJeans emerges as the most nominated K-pop artist at this year's awards, receiving nods in four categories: top Billboard Global (excluding the US) artist, top global K-pop artist, top global K-pop song, and top K-pop album, accumulating a total of five nominations with a double nomination in the top global K-pop song category.

The highly anticipated awards ceremony is scheduled for November 19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
