"We are very happy to be able to appear in front of you, thank you very much to all of you, and thank you also to the organizers of Lollapalooza, love you all," said Hanni, and the audience cheered.
After NewJeans appeared, the number of viewers is said to have decreased significantly. According to several media, the audience immediately left the stage after NewJeans finished their performance.
On the other hand, NewJeans said they were inspired by Billie Eilish's appearance to give their first stage act at Lollapalooza.
During an interview with NME, Minji, Haerin, Hanni, Hyein, and Danielle, watched the video of Billie Eilish's appearance in advance to prepare themselves to appear.
"We watched Billie Eilish together in Brazil, but we also watched a lot of other artists and performers," says Danielle.

"We watch a lot of videos and get so much inspiration. We also love the energy and the songs," said Minji.
