NouerA Returns with Refreshing Confession Attack... New Mini Album '.exe' Release
July 27, 2026
Group NouerA is targeting the hearts of fans with a refreshing confession attack. NouerA (Gihyun, Junpyo, Hyeonjun, Yusup, Rin, Pan, Miraku) held a showcase to commemorate the release of their fourth mini album '.exe' on the afternoon of the 27th at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. The members, returning after four months, announced they have come back looking more refreshing and cute than before.
During the showcase, the members expressed their ambition to convey happiness to fans with new music and charm. In particular, Rin said, "If the previous work had a strong and cool feel, this time we have returned with a refreshing confession concept," promising to show a new side of NouerA. Gihyun shared his thoughts, noting that the activities for this album began from the preparation stage for their third album, and he wanted to show off a wonderful appearance quickly within a short period.
'.exe' is an album that captures NouerA's heart as they confess their love without hesitation to their crush. By utilizing the keyword '.exe,' which means a computer executable file, the album intuitively expresses the message that they will leap over dimensional boundaries for love. The album includes a total of four tracks, including the title track of the same name, '이엑스이 (X.X)', 'LOCKED IN', 'W.T.F(un)', and 'LIFE IN COLOR'.
The title track '이엑스이 (X.X)' is a song where heavy bass, sharp hyper synths, and irregular beats blend together. Yusup explained that this song is one where the reckless yet unstoppable energy and emotions of the boys explode. Pan revealed his wish that the audience would feel the happiness as he challenged a lovely concept for the first time.
NouerA was formed through the KBS 2TV audition program 'Make Mate One' and debuted in February last year. They achieved a career high by breaking their own record for the highest initial sales with their March release 'POP IT LIKE'. Active overseas as well, NouerA is currently conducting their first world tour, 'CATCH THE WAVE', communicating with fans around the globe.
