Interestingly, a snippet of NewJeans’ OST was featured in the trailer. Fans were quick to pinpoint how it sounded like the group even before Netflix confirmed the news.
On top of that, fans are curious as to how NewJeans’ rendition of the hit ballad can further elevate the storytelling in the drama.
The OST is also the group’s next project after the release of their second EP Get Up. Said album gave NewJeans’ their first entry to the Billboard 200 chart.
Get Up, which has six songs, was released on July 21. “ETA,” “Super Shy,” and “Cool With You” are the album’s triple title tracks.
