Why I Can't Quit NewJeans

Honestly, NewJeans was my youth. Listening isn't about the music — it's about meeting the version of me who didn't yet know what he'd become, but believed he could become anything.

Why I can't quit NewJeans.

Honestly, NewJeans was the season of my youth.

When the songs play, the crisp air of my university days comes back with all that swelling feeling. The season of youth when I didn't yet know what I would become, but believed I could become anything.

So listening to NewJeans isn't listening to music — it's meeting the me of that season again.

That atmosphere, at least, is something I carry inside —

maybe I feel it's a part of my identity.
