Following the key words NU (newly), Established, Style and Tempo, the name of this urban electro band, NU’EST, stands for 'creating music with a new style'. Stylish NU’EST debuted as the most recognized boy band in 2012 and took their place as promising new Korean Wave Idols with defining style and looks. In 2016, they presented differentiated music, performances and visuals, showing a funky appearance as ‘Cartoondols’ (as though they had stepped out from the cartoon world, too handsome to be real). JR, BAEKHO, MINHYUN and REN also gained a new foothold through Mnet's survival program 'Produce 101 Season 2' in 2017. They earned great attention from the public, and their song ‘Hello’, released in 2013, climbed back up the music charts as a result.
