NU'EST's 8th mini-album 'The Nocturne' confirmed its comeback on May 11
Creating a new style to music
NU'EST, which marks its ninth year since its debut this year, has established itself as a global artist by solidifying its identity with various musical styles from its debut album, as it stands for "NU, Establish, style and Tempo," meaning "creating a new style to music."
In each album, we picked NU'EST's history of concept transformation, which showed new attempts and limitless changes with unique concepts.
Powerful yet powerful charisma 'FACE'
NU'EST, who appeared in the K-pop scene before their official debut, made a surprise debut with their first single title track "FACE" on March 15, 2012, showing off their intense charisma with unique performances using chairs and powerful group dance.
FACE, which represents what happens in society from a teenage perspective, differentiated NU'EST from existing K-pop songs by combining dubstep, a music genre that was popular in Europe at the time, and set a record of exceeding 100 million views in music videos after its release.

Emotional melodies and dramatic performances 'Hello'
NU'EST's second mini-album title track "Hello" captures NU'EST's mournful sensibility and mature charm with a stage composition that contains dramatic performances that seem to be watching a musical.
"Hello" is a song about a man who witnessed his girlfriend meeting another man, and it is a song that unravels the heart of a man pretending to be calm in fear of breaking up with him, with friendly material called "telephone" and plain lyrics, making him a candidate for No. 1 music show.
Colorful and fresh 'sleep talking'
NU'EST, who turned into five bad guys, gave excitement with unique point dances such as "Alarm Dance," which appears in JR's solo part, and "Kkodak Kodak Kodak Kodak Kodak Joktodak," which is performed in line with the lyrics "Kkodak Kodak Kodak Kodak," giving off its pure original appearance without adding any hint and refreshing charm.
Unlike the reality of not being able to even talk to a woman he likes, "Sleep Talking" is an impressive song with lyrics that express the reality of a man who reveals his mind through sleep talking, and it received explosive responses from fans after a long time through the fan meeting "L.O.Λ.E PAGE" at the KSPO DOME in Seoul last November.
An enchanting cartoon idol, 'The Knight of the Queen'
Growing up from boy to man, NU'EST perfectly digested its distinctive "cartoon idol" concept, drew much attention with NU'EST's unrivaled visuals and styling that seemed to pop out of comics quickly, and gave off more mature charm with addictive lyrics and captivating performances.
"The Queen's Knight" is an album that marks the beginning of "The Story Trilogy," which contains NU'EST's dramatic narrative, with a promise to comfort pain and protect the woman they love by memorizing the spell "Mahakenda Pfeldomun" that makes them forget their sorrow.
