A Slack conversation from November 2023 between ADOR Vice President Shin Dong-hoon and HYBE’s PR team.
Before the GRAMMY nominations are announced, artists can submit themselves for consideration. Around June 2023, ADOR attempted to submit NewJeans to the GRAMMYs, but HYBE’s PR team opposed it, saying, “Even if you submit, the actual chances of being nominated are low.”
HYBE’s PR team responded negatively, speaking as if they were an unrelated third party: “To lead to a nomination, a campaign needs to be run, and if you’re not planning to actively pursue one, you probably don’t need to submit.”
However, if NewJeans were submitted, it would be HYBE’s PR team that would be responsible for handling and actively running that campaign.
After NewJeans’ Get Up (July 2023) reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Vice President Shin stated in November, “The results turned out well, so it’s disappointing that there was no re-recommendation. Their performance was better than other labels’ artists, yet those labels submitted their acts. Isn’t this a case of unequal advocacy between labels? I don’t understand this,” expressing a clear objection.
In response, HYBE’s PR team only offered a general explanation: “The GRAMMY industry skews older and more conservative. It’s more favorable toward artists with a strong local presence. It’s not particularly friendly toward new fields like K-pop.”
However, despite speaking to NewJeans as if they were a third party, HYBE in reality carried out large-scale GRAMMY campaigns for other teams.
On November 7, 2023, U.S. media outlet Rolling Stone published an article predicting likely nominees by category ahead of the GRAMMY announcements, and named NewJeans as a potential nominee for Best New Artist. Through this series of events, we can imagine the frustration and pain Min Hee-jin must have felt.
To reiterate, this is about the attitude shown by the parent company HYBE’s PR team.
Conclusion: From debut, NewJeans faced obstacles such as pushback from HYBE and delayed schedules. Even after achieving unprecedented success by 2023, they continued to endure the parent company’s inexplicable interference and lack of support.

어깨에 두른 작은 헝겊데긴 너에겐 무엇보다 힘이 되지
oh,oh,oh,oh 웃기지마
이상해 작은 헝겊이 뭐길래 완전히 다른 사람이 되는가
oh,oh,oh,oh 웃기지마
완장 그것은 기가 막힌 변신인거야
완장 세상을 지배하는 목소린거야 웃기지마
제발 이제는 정신을 차려봐 어깨에 힘을 좀 빼고 너는 세상이 만만해 보이니 한번쯤 주위를 둘러봐 완장 그것은 기가막힌 변신인거야 완장 세상을 지배하는 목소린거야 웃기지마
