K-pop group NewJeans recreate FaZe Jason’s viral 100k Twitch subs ETA video

As a gamer and K-pop fan who’s been around the block more times than I care to remember, this unexpected crossover between NewJeans and FaZe Jason is nothing short of mind-blowing. Growing up on Twitch and recently diving headfirst into the world of K-pop, I never in a million years thought I’d see these two worlds collide.


The K-pop band NewJeans utilized TikTok to reenact the popular video of FaZe Jason’s triumph over reaching 100,000 Twitch subscribers, using their track ‘ETA.’

30th of September, I, as a proud Twitch streamer known as JasonTheWeen, celebrated hitting the monumental milestone of 100,000 subscribers by playing the captivating track “ETA” by NewJeans during my live stream. The infectious tune swiftly caught fire across various social media platforms, creating a wave of excitement among fans and music lovers alike.

Following that point, the number of “Estimated Time of Arrival” (ETA) listens on Spotify significantly increased, reaching over 560,000 by October 1st, and the song’s play count nearly doubled within just two and a half days.

Following the festivities, I personally shared the clip on my timeline, accompanied by the words, “I’ve got you beat!

I ❤️ NEW JEANS

A week after, NewJeans shared a reenactment of the popular celebration on their verified TikTok page, delighting their massive audience of 12.5 million fans.

In the video, Hanni is jokingly manhandled by the rest of the team, much like how Jason was treated originally. Subsequently, they begin grooving to the music played on the Twitch streamer’s broadcast, where ‘ETA’ was being sung by him and his fellow FaZe Clan members.

They wrote: ‘When are you expected to arrive?!’ This post, with over a million views and 284,000 likes, is creating quite a buzz on the platform. Interestingly, it’s also been posted on their Instagram page, gathering over 2 million views there.

Supporters of the popular K-pop female band, referred to as Bunnies, couldn’t help but be thrilled about the unforeseen collaboration with Jason NeweJeans. One fan even expressed their excitement by saying, “Come on, let’s do this collab with Jason NeweJeans!” in the comments.

“Raised on Faze and discovering Kpop last year, this unforeseen collaboration is thrilling and I can’t wait for it to happen,” one expressed.

Fans of JasonTheWeen similarly expressed their feelings on social media platforms, with one fan posting, “Jason just received a nod from NewJeens. I feel incredibly proud to be part of the NMS community.

A while back, someone joked about collaborating with NewJeens, and I simply thought it was funny because I didn’t think it would be possible. But now, after seeing what’s happened, I’ve become a true believer.

Jason hasn’t answered about NewJeans replicating his celebratory moment just yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as he does. Stay tuned!
