The group NewBeat has showcased its presence as a 'performance hotspot.'
NewBeat (NEWBEAT, Park Min-seok, Hong Min-seong, Jeon Yeo-jeong, Choi Seo-hyun, Kim Tae-yang, Jo Yoon-hoo, Kim Ri-woo) released the final video of their K-Pop busking performance titled ‘JeLLo (힘숨찐) + HICCUPS (히컵스) + Flip the Coin (플립 더 코인)’ through the YouTube channel Dinga Dinga Studio on the 2nd.
In the released video, NewBeat demonstrated flawless choreography even with complex arrangements. The immersive performance maximized NewBeat's stage presence. The explosive energy of the members was conveyed directly to the audience through dynamic choreography that changed with each song.
Previously, NewBeat opened the busking series with their new song ‘Cappuccino’ (카푸치노), which was unexpectedly revealed at ‘KCON LA 2025’, garnering a hot response from global fans. The choreography, which visualizes a chaotic and immersive feeling, stood out, and NewBeat intensely engaged in warming up the busking stage.
They subsequently presented performance videos of Stray Kids' ‘CEREMONY’ (세리머니) and ATEEZ's ‘BOUNCY’ (바운시). NewBeat showcased powerful group choreography by mixing songs from these two top K-Pop groups while incorporating their unique street sensibility and individuality, earning praise from fans.
In particular, NewBeat gained practical stage experience by performing busking stages in 14 cities across the U.S. and Mexico before their debut. This trilogy of busking videos served as an opportunity to showcase NewBeat's skills honed through live performances, raising expectations for their future activities.
NewBeat debuted in March with their first full album ‘RAW AND RAD’ (러 앤 래드). At that time, they made headlines by holding an Mnet global debut show and an SBS debut fan showcase, which is unusual for newcomers. Since then, NewBeat has been actively performing on major domestic and international stages and was recognized for their potential by winning the ‘K World Dream New Vision Award’ at their first awards ceremony, the ‘2025 K World Dream Awards’.
Meanwhile, NewBeat is currently focusing on preparing a new album for their first comeback after debut.
