On November 10, during Hybe Corporation's annual community briefing on YouTube, CEO Jiwon Park announced that NewJeans' are slated to return with the release of their first single album OMG on January 2, 2023.[4] On the same day, it was revealed that the single album will consist of the title track that was already planned at the time of production for the group's debut album New Jeans as well as a pre-release single which will be released on December 19.[5] On December 12, the first teasers were released, which were inspired by '90s Christmas visuals.[6] Both teasers show a rabbit hopping in the middle of the logo, meant to symbolize the group's fanbase, known as "bunnies". On the same day, the name of the pre-release track which was revealed to be "Ditto" was released.[7]
