History

Pre-debut and formation

On December 20, 2022, Beat Interactive opened an Instagram account for its pre-debut boy group. Park Min-seok, Hong Min-hyung, Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong, Choi Seo-hyun, Kim Tae-yang, Jo Yoon-hoo, and Kim Ri-woo all served as dancers in A.C.E's music video for "My Girl", with former TO1 member Jeon Yeo-jung also joining the cast.[1][2] On June 20, 2024, the group returned under the name Hinlove as dancers for A.C.E's Rewind Us tour in the United States, with the addition of new member Kim Ri-woo to the lineup. The group's social media accounts used the name Hinlove, but most have since been changed to Newbeat.[3][4] From July 21 to August 11, 2024, the group went on a street tour called High & Low Donuts, performing on the streets with different dance crews. The group also served as dancers for A.C.E during KCON LA.[5]
