NewJeans‘ incredible reception at the 2023 Lollapalooza Festival is going viral in Korea.
On August 3, K-Pop upstart NewJeans performed at the famed Lollapalooza Festival. The four-day music festival is widely regarded as one of the biggest in the United States, with marquee American acts such as Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar, and the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers performing on this year’s stage.
Despite only debuting in Korea a year ago, NewJeans took on the daunting task of performing on the legendary stage and showed up for their fans — and their fans for them!
