Nowadays is the first new K-pop boy group from Cube Entertainment since Pentagon in 2016. From the beginning, Cube presented the group’s five members as strong all-rounders with unique personalities that came together to create powerful and memorable performances. So let’s take a look at when that greatness first begun. Here is the complete answer to when exactly Hyeonbin, Yoon, Yeonwoo, Jinhyuk, and Siyun made their debut as Nowadays at Cube Entertainment.
Nowadays Made Debut on April 2, 2024 with “OoWee”
Nowadays debuted on April 2, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. KST with their first single, “OoWee,” on their self-titled first single album, Nowadays. Nowadays contains three songs in total in its tracklist: “NOW,” “OoWee,” and “TICKET.” Besides the tracklist for the album, other details about the group became known in the lead-up to debut. For starters, Nowadays filmed their mood film introduction in London, England. International filming for debut has become surprisingly common in recent times, with Boynextdoor and RIIZE filming in Los Angeles and Kiss of Life filming in Hungary for their 2023 debuts. The Nowadays members were also introduced through individual “Write about me NOW!” videos and self-profiles, making it easy for people to become fans of each of them.
Cube Entertainment has a notoriously rocky history of management with its various K-pop groups. Some groups, like 4Minute and (G)I-dle, have excelled to lofty heights (with the latter especially propelled by Soyeon’s songwriting), while others, like CLC and Lightsum, have frankly languished due to poor management. However, Pentagon have enjoyed a solid career, so one hopes that Nowadays will be able to thrive as well.
To summarize, Nowadays made their debut on April 2, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. KST with single album Nowadays and lead song “OoWee.” For more about the group, check out how old the Nowadays members currently are.
