The "You Quiz on the Block" hosts then asked the "Hype Boy" hitmakers to share what they bought with their first payment.

She added, "Actually, I still receive an allowance from them every month. So, I wanted to buy something for them with the money that I earned on my own."

The youngest member Hyein then said that she bought key rings worth 90,000 won (approximately $69) for herself.

"I really wanted to buy those key rings, but I felt bad about asking my mom to buy them (for me)," she continued. "Because of that, I couldn't buy them (myself). But I felt proud that I was able to buy what I wanted with the money that I earned."

NewJeans stepped into the music scene on July 22 with "Attention," one of the three title tracks of their debut EP "New Jeans." They went on to release "Hype Boy," "Cookie," and "Hurt."

Out of the four songs, "Hype Boy" was immensely loved by Bunnies (NewJeans' fandom) all over the world because of its catchy sound and trendy choreography. This song is also widely known among other K-pop idols and even actors and actresses.

Thousands of "Hype Boy" covers and dance challenges emerged on social media shortly after its release.

Even though it has been half a year since NewJeans' songs came out, all of them continue to rank high on Korean music charts.
