In a recent interview with Vogue Australia, K-pop sensations Danielle Marsh and Hanni Pham, members of the popular group NewJeans, took a nostalgic journey down memory lane as they reminisced about their early life as Australians. The dynamic duo opened up about how their Australian accents have subtly influenced their fellow group members, shedding light on the unique cultural blend within NewJeans.
Despite their skyrocketing success in South Korea and various parts of Asia, the Vogue Australia cover girls expressed a genuine longing for the Aussie culture that shaped their formative years. With their schedules packed to the brim with commitments, both locally and internationally, the duo conveyed their yearning for the simplicity of life in Australia.
Hanni Pham shared her heartfelt sentiments, revealing, “I miss being able to see my family whenever I want to. What I miss the most are family meals and regular visits with all of my grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles, which I can only do once in a while now.”
Danielle Marsh echoed these sentiments, expressing gratitude for her Australian childhood. “I’m so grateful for my childhood in Australia,” she shared.
Delving into the impact of their Australian upbringing on the group dynamics, Hanni disclosed, “Dani and I, we’ve definitely shared a lot of our Australian accent with the other girls. If you give them a few years, I’m sure they’ll sound like native Australians.”
Danielle added that she has observed their “Aussie-ness” rubbing off on other members of the group. It’s a testament to the close bond formed within NewJeans, where cultural influences blend seamlessly to create a unique and harmonious musical experience.
NewJeans, who made headlines last year with chart-topping hits like “Get Up,” continues to make waves in the K-pop scene. Beyond their musical achievements, the group stands as a testament to the global appeal of K-pop, where diverse backgrounds and influences come together to create a dynamic and captivating entertainment experience. As NewJeans continues to evolve, fans eagerly anticipate the fusion of Australian and K-pop elements in their future endeavors.
