The K-pop singer has been soaring in her career having landed herself as the newest global ambassador for UGG as well as being included in Billboard’s 2024 Women in Music Awards.

“The fact that we were able to participate, let alone perform at Billboard’s Women in Music was an incredible experience,” she says in an interview with Billboard. “I was in awe the entire evening at the overflowing energy generated by the music and the inspiring artists gathered together to celebrate Women’s History Month. It was truly such an amazing opportunity that I never would have imagined, and I know that the members and I are incredibly thankful that we were able to attend and perform.”

Trending on Billboard

Now, the NewJeans singer is encouraging you to ditch the platform heels and throw on some comfortable sandals. For the shoe brand’s ongoing Spring/Summer 2024 global campaign, the “Super Shy” infused her own style including one controversial pairing that still has fashion influencers debating its trendiness: socks and sandals.

“Personally, I think layering them with the GoldenGlow Sandals just looks really cute and casual,” she says in an interview with Billboard. “Also, I’ve found they look very nice with long jeans because of the shape of the shoe!”

She hopes to continue experimenting with the elements, which consists of sensible footwear, oversized cardigans, sweater vests, button-down tops and any clothing with tones of brown and tans.

“I think it’s such a distinct yet fun way of dressing that really varies based on each individual’s character or personal style preference,” she says.
