NOWZ Confirms August Comeback, Gaining Attention for Mature Music and Fan Engagement

Cube Entertainment's boy group NOWZ has officially confirmed their August comeback. This marks their return after approximately five months since releasing their Japanese EP in March. The group has been actively communicating with fans through their own content series, 'Do it NOW'. With their debut mini-album 'IGNITION', they broke the 150,000 copies sold in the first week, setting a career high.

NOWZ is accelerating preparations for their new album, aiming for an August release. Following their first Japanese EP 'NOWZ' released in March this year, the new project promises to showcase a broader musical world. NOWZ is a five-member group consisting of Hyunbin, Yoon, Yeonwoo, Jinhyeok, and Siyoon. Last year, the group rebranded from 'NOWADAYS' to 'NOWZ', establishing a new direction.

Since then, their debut mini-album 'IGNITION' surpassed 150,000 copies in initial sales, marking a career high. Their pre-release single 'Fly Freely (Feat. Woozi)', produced by Cube's senior group SEVENTEEN's Woozi, reached number one on China's QQ Music new song daily chart, marking their first time topping a music chart. They have also proven their growth at award ceremonies. NOWZ received the 'Blooming Star Award' at the '33rd Hanteo Music Awards 2025' and the 'Hot Trend Award' at 'ASEA 2026', demonstrating their presence for two consecutive years.

The members' relay of self-composed songs has also caught attention. Starting with Hyunbin's first self-composed digital single 'Our Beginning', followed by Siyoon's 'Save me' and Jinhyeok's 'ROSE', they are expanding NOWZ's unique color. As NOWZ broadens their activities not only in performance but also in lyric writing and composition, expectations are high for what musical growth they will show in their August comeback.

Before the comeback, they will also meet with fans through their own content. On the 23rd, NOWZ released a teaser for their original content 'Do it NOW' through their official YouTube channel. The teaser features members creating their own logo song, experiencing past lives, playing games in a jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouse), dancing in the practice room, and travel diaries. 'Do it NOW', which will be released on the 26th at 7 PM, is an entertainment-style content that expands upon the original content NOWZ has presented since their debut. NOWZ plans to communicate with fans with a more comfortable and honest charm.
