CHEETAH, NEWJEANSNIM
Rapper CHEETAH joins forces with monk NEWJEANSNIM to fight anxiety.
According to her agency, XX Entertainment, CHEETAH will release her new track “18번뇌” on May 2nd and “NEWJEANSNIM” on the 5th, thus fully launching her activities.
The new track “18번뇌” is a modern mantra that joyfully soothes anxiety. It features a question-and-answer format where powerful questions and answers about the body, desire, and anxiety are exchanged with humor. Combining different genres, such as hip-hop and Buddhism, is expected to be a refreshing experience.
A unique collaboration with comedian Yoon Sung Ho, active under the legal name “NEWJEANSNIM,” meaning “New Jin (進),” is particularly noteworthy. NEWJEANSNIM is attracting the attention of the MZ generation with its music blending EDM DJing and Buddhist concepts. The collaboration between NEWJEANSNIM and rapper CHEETAH, who gained popularity with transgender songs such as “부처핸섬 Feat.DJ38SUN,” “극락왕생 (極樂往生),” and “Don’t be greedy,” is particularly noteworthy.
CHEETAH, who debuted with the group Blacklist in 2010, won the first season of Mnet’s “Unpretty Rapstar” in 2015, becoming a hip-hop icon. Since then, she has made her mark on various shows, including as a rap editor for “Produce 101” and “High School Rapper 2.”
CHEETAH, who announced her comeback after approximately two years, following the release of her digital single “POLYPHONY” in 2023, has signed an exclusive contract with XX Entertainment to continue her musical journey.
In addition, CHEETAH and NEWJEANSNIM’s “18” will be released on several music platforms on May 5.
