NewJeans continues to dominate the global music scene, with their beloved track “Hurt” from their eponymous debut album officially surpassing 300 million streams on Spotify. This impressive milestone, confirmed by Ador on Friday, marks the tenth time the group has achieved such a feat, solidifying their status as streaming powerhouses. The song reached this benchmark on Wednesday, hot on the heels of their recent hit “How Sweet,” which also crossed the 300-million mark late last month.
This consistent success arrives amidst a flurry of excitement and growing speculation among fans regarding NewJeans’ anticipated return. The buzz intensified recently with Haerin stepping back into the spotlight, gracing the stunning cover of Marie Claire Korea’s September issue. This marks Haerin’s first individual activity since her return to the agency last November, alongside Hyein, further fueling hopes for a full group comeback.

Ador drew a line, though, saying that the photoshoot was unrelated to the group resuming its music activities.
