KPOP DISCOVER's NOWZ note

A five-piece that debuted from CUBE Entertainment as NOWADAYS in April 2024 restarted under the name NOWZ in June 2025. The members are Hyeonbin, Yoon, Yeonwoo, Jinhyuk and Siyun. Because the change of name came roughly a year after the debut, either spelling should lead to the same place.

Three songs open the door: OoWee, TICKET and Rainy day. The early work under the NOWADAYS name is bright, catchy pop that shows plainly where the group started. Rainy day has a seasonal feel that sticks, and plenty of people were listening to it before the fan club name D-DAY existed. Getting the debut image from OoWee and then letting Rainy day settle the pace is the natural order.

After the renaming came Fly to the youth, EVERGLOW, Problem Child and HomeRUN, a run of sharply defined songs. HOOKED arrived in 2026, and the Japanese EP NOWZ followed in March of the same year. OoWee, then Rainy day, then HomeRUN runs from the starting point before the renaming through the early signature to where the group stands now.

Editors' take OoWee / Rainy day / HomeRUN — three songs tracing the change from the NOWADAYS era to NOWZ, from the five-piece group at CUBE Entertainment.

Japan activity score

KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 133/ 210 groups

No. 133 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 63%)

  • 1Japanese releases
  • 5Japan-related tracks
  • 0Members from Japan
  • 1Official Japanese accounts

The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
