Abstract

The purpose of this article is to suggest new trends in the idol market and the direction of next-generation K-pop promotion strategies by studying ‘NewJeans’, which has presented a new paradigm for idol promotion strategies in the age of new media. As a research method, based on the theoretical background of existing idol promotion strategies, we will draw out the differences from other groups in the promotion strategy of ‘NewJeans’ through a comparative analysis using statistical data, music charts, and press releases. First, the management philosophy of Min Hee-jin, the CEO of ‘NewJeans’, based on Hegel's dialectic, has set a new trend in the idol market. Second, the active utilization of IP led to effective publicity. Third, through the utilization of the newtro concept, the product was consumed by a wider age group than the main consumption age group of the existing idol industry. This study has practical implications in that it provides a direction for successful promotion cases utilizing new media, and research on new genres that are leading trends in the current generation should be continued based on this study.
