With just a year since the girl group’s formal debut, NewJeans has made waves across the K-pop industry, social media and on the Billboard charts. And on Sunday (Nov. 19), the quintet — which consists of members Danielle, Haerin, Hyein, Hanni and Minji — performed their viral hits “Super Shy” and “OMG” at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards.
The performance kicked off with the girls dressed in stylish schoolgirl ensembles, dancing in solo booths to electronic music. NewJeans then stepped onto the stage with a fleet of backup dancers to perform “Super Shy” and its viral choreography, hitting every step flawlessly as the Bunnies (their fans) in the audience sang the official fan chant at the appropriate times during the track.
After the song, the quintet did a quick change into new outfits for “OMG,” which consisted of oversized snow boots, oversized angel-themed sweaters, skirts and printed beanies for the dreamy set, with white grid walls and cloudlike figures around them. The track’s instrumental received a funky remix, and saw the girls dancing in unison for the feel-good dance moves, taking small moments during the showcase to wave at the Bunnies in the crowd.
NewJeans topped off the evening by winning the new top global K-pop artist award, beating out Stray Kids, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, TWICE and Jimin of BTS.
“Thank you so much for giving us the top global K-pop artist award,” Hyein started off the speech. Hanni continued, “We have been nominated in this category alongside such incredible artists we look up to. It’s an honor in itself. We are so grateful for this opportunity to perform at the Billboard Music Awards.”
Minji also stated the importance of the honor and noted that it will serve as “a reminder to us of all the love and support we receive from our fans Bunnies.”
Danielle extended grace to NewJeans’ company for putting the group on their journey, as well as a few special others within their circle. “We would like to thank our company ADOR, our family and everyone who has helped us behind the scenes, especially our producer Min Hee Jin,” she said, with Haerin adding a sweet shoutout to the Bunnies. “Words cannot convey how grateful we are, but we hope that one day we can bring you as much happiness as you’ve given us.”

NewJeans’ performance comes months after the group scored its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with Get Up, released in July. “Super Shy” peaked at No. 48 on the Billboard Hot 100, while “ETA” and “Cool With You” — also from the EP — peaked at Nos. 81 and 93 respectively. Though not on the EP, “OMG” arrived in January and reached No. 74.

Bebe Rexha and David Guetta were all good at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 19), as they teamed up to perform their massive dance hit “I’m Good (Blue).”
Dressed in a stunning form-fitting gown, Rexha opened the performance with a slowed-down, orchestral version of the track. However, midway through the performance, the beat dropped and headed back into the club-ready melody.
Fans in the audience were chosen in a first-of-its-kind collaboration between the BBMAs and Spotify Fans First, who 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.
“I’m Good (Blue)” — which was a finalist for three BBMAs at Sunday’s show and took home the prize for top dance/electronic song — spent 55 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. (Only one song in the chart’s nearly 11-year history has had a longer run at No. 1; “Happier” by Marshmello and Bastille topped the chart for 69 weeks.)
“I want to say thank you so much to Billboard, thank you to my fans — come on, Rexhars! Stand up, let’s go!” Rexha said in her acceptance speech, adding what an “incredible journey” the song had taken. “We did it in 2017 and we didn’t think it was going to become such a worldwide anthem. We wanted to just flip a fun song from back in the day and just make it feel good. I just can’t believe how far this song has gone. Fifty-two weeks at No. 1, OK? I grew up watching Billboard and to be here right now is such an awesome, full-circle moment.”

Rexha then tossed to Guetta, who sent in a video acceptance speech. “The story of ‘I’m Good’ is actually crazy, because we were just jamming in the studio four years ago, and we didn’t want to put it out, really. I just played it as a tool in my DJ set, and someone sampled it. And it all started with TikTok, because someone used it as a TikTok sound. Now here we are: A full year at No. 1 on Billboard. This is really incredible.”
Rexha and Guetta are both past Billboard Music Awards winners. “Meant to Be,” Rexha’s collab with Florida Georgia Line, won four years ago for top country song, while Guetta was named top EDM artist in 2013.
