The current young generation, often referred to as the Millennials and Gen Z, is deeply enamored with a particular culture, to the extent that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they’re obsessed. It’s “Newtro” (a portmanteau of “new” and “retro”). This retro revival is spreading across various fields globally, from fashion to food to pop culture. Among K-POP idols, there’s one group that showcases this Newtro concept: NewJeans, who debuted with the HYBE Company. Where can we see the Newtro culture loved by NewJeans? Let’s journey to the retro meccas in Korea that NewJeans has visited, searching for nostalgic vibes.
