New Beat, first self-content release since debut… 100km completion challenge

Group New Beat took its first step towards completing the 100km race.

NEWBEAT(Park Min-seok, Hong Min-seong, Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong, Choi Seo-hyun, Kim Tae-yang, Jo Yoon-hoo, Kim Ri-woo)released the first episode of their own content ‘NEWBIETRAP’ through their official YouTube channel at 6 PM on the 2nd.

Newbeat, who had previously decided on the name of their content as ‘Newbeat Trip’ through a meeting, expressed their excitement ahead of their full-fledged trip.The production team said, “Welcome to ‘Newbeat Trip’” and “This is a reward for Newbeat who has worked hard for their debut.Just have fun.”

After arriving at the accommodation, New Beat headed to the sledding hill before they could even properly unpack, and enjoyed a dynamic time until the sun set.In particular, Yeo Yeo-jeong expressed her affection by saying, “It makes me happy to see(everyone)having fun” when seeing the happy members.

New Beat enjoyed a celebratory dinner prepared by the production team.Rio expressed his overwhelming emotions, saying, “I’m almost crying” at the elaborate table setting.The members created a spectacular scene reminiscent of a mukbang, and Taeyang, who had been looking forward to the meal since morning, showed off his professional idol side by saying, “This is really delicious.How long has it been since I’ve had this?” and “I wonder if PT teacher approved this?”

After a leisurely dinner, Newbit gathered together to share their satisfaction with the trip.However, the dreamlike time was short-lived, and the excitement was shattered in one day with the sudden appearance of the production crew.As it turned out, ‘Newbit Trip’ was the cornerstone for ‘Newbit Trap’, and the real journey to escape the trap had begun.

The mission card given by the production team contained the message to walk home from work.The distance is a whopping 100km, and if you succeed, you will be given a special reward, and if you fail, there will be a huge penalty, raising curiosity.The members could not hide their feelings of betrayal and disappointment, and the leader Minseok had a great realization, saying, “So this is why they gave you a vacation.”

In addition, the agency gave New Beat a 90s essential sentimental item, an iPod, which contained music that reflected their tastes, starting with songs from their debut album, to give them strength.Will New Beat be able to overcome the crisis and successfully complete their mission?

Meanwhile, New Beat continues to be active through various online and offline contents including ‘KCON JAPAN 2025’.
