Rookie girl group NewJeans will launch its first travel reality show on SBS starting Oct. 16, SBS said Friday.

Titled “NewJeans Code in Busan,” the show was created to support Busan’s bid to host the World Expo 2030.

It will see the members travel around the southeastern port city and explore its hotspots and landmarks.

The show will also provide a sneak peek into the lives of NewJeans members in their residence during their stay in Busan.

NewJeans debuted in August and has been rocketing in popularity. It set a new record for a debuting K-pop group by selling 311,271 copies of its first EP “New Jeans” in a week. Songs like “Attention,” “Hype Boy” and “Cookie” have landed on charts of Billboard and Spotify.

The group has five members: Hanni, Minji, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein.
