NU’EST

"There’s a big buzz in the world of K-pop!
Here comes the heavily-anticipated Japan debut of this next-generation idol group that is bound to be a hit. They are, quite simply, the “new princes” on the scene. Presenting NU’EST, the Korean boy band that is a worldwide hit!"

What do you think of Onitsuka Tiger?

Ren: They’re really popular in Korea. When I tried them, I thought they were really nice, especially their shoes. If I have the chance, I want to wear them at the airport next time.

Minhyun: Onitsuka Tiger is popular with regular people as well as celebrities. My sister is a big fan, I think I’ve seen at least three pairs of them at home.”

Where do you want to visit in Japan?

JR: I want to go to Tokyo Disneyland! It has so many characters and attractions, you can’t find a theme park like it in Korea, so I definitely want to check it out!

Baekho: I want to go to Roppongi. There isn’t anything in particular I want to do there, I just want to go and hang out there with the other members.”

Could you give a message to your fans about anything coming up in Japan?

Aron: Our debut single, Shalala Ring, will be on sale starting November 5th!

JR: Shalala Ring is a song that was made to keep the person you love happy. It’s a really fresh tune, I hope everyone checks it out!
All members: We are going to continue working hard for our fans in Japan, so we would really appreciate your support!”
