NewJeans-related buzzwords began to gain traction in earnest from the latter half of 2022, following the group NewJeans' debut. In particular, the 'NewJeans' Hype Boy-yo' meme rapidly spread and gained significant popularity on short-form platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok from late 2022.

NewJeans-related buzzwords encompass the high recognition of the group NewJeans itself and various situational skits derived from their music. The representative 'NewJeans' Hype Boy-yo' meme originally began with content where people would ask someone wearing earphones on the street what song they were listening to. It later evolved into a non-sequitur style of humor where, regardless of the question, people would abruptly respond with 'NewJeans' Hype Boy-yo' and perform the 'Hype Boy' dance. This phenomenon was possible because NewJeans' 'Hype Boy' was such a widely beloved song. Furthermore, due to NewJeans' syndrome-level popularity, a new coinage 'Onse-New' emerged, meaning 'The whole world is NewJeans.' It is used to express situations where one encounters NewJeans-related content or songs everywhere they go.

Primarily used actively among the MZ generation, and gained particular popularity among young people who enjoy short-form content. It was widely known and used not only by NewJeans' fandom, Bunnies, but also by the general public who recognized NewJeans' mainstream popularity.
