K-pop fans, brace yourselves! Cube Entertainment’s rookie group NOWADAYS, featuring members Hyeonbin, Yoon, Yeonwoo, Jinhyuk, and Siyun, recently rocked the cover of Rolling Stone Korea.

In the photoshoot, NOWADAYS put a fresh spin on street fashion, showcasing each member’s unique style and pulling off a charming boyfriend look.

As the first male group to debut under Cube Entertainment in eight years, NOWADAYS shared, “We plan to show everything we’ve prepared diligently.”

Member Yoon expressed his ambition, saying, “As much as we prepared for a long time to debut, I wanted people to say ‘a monster rookie appeared’.” Siyun echoed the sentiment, adding, “I can’t believe that I’m part of the boy group that Cube Entertainment debuted for the first time in 8 years.”

Member Yeonwoo shared his desire to be remembered as an irreplaceable idol, stating, “I want to create a unique color for NOWADAYS.” Jinhyuk voiced his aspiration, saying, “I want to be remembered as an idol group that turns the world upside down.”

Leader Hyeonbin wrapped up by sharing, “I want NOWADAYS to become a group that can provide comfort and empathy to fans.”

In the meantime, NOWADAYS dropped their debut single album ‘NOWADAYS’ on April 2.

NewJeans quietly paused their activities after a tough legal battle… but a simple message from a fan left them emotional.

On April 12, NewJeans posted a single photo on their shared social media account, now renamed "mhdhh" (using the first letters of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein), without any caption.

The photo was of a short, handwritten letter from a fan that read, “I love you. I support you.” Touched by the heartfelt words, NewJeans added a crying cat emoji, showing how much the support meant to them.

Fans quickly noticed and filled the comments with love and encouragement like “We’ll be here no matter what” and “NewJeans forever.”

This quiet but emotional post comes as NewJeans remains in a hiatus following a contract dispute with their agency ADOR.

Back in November, the members announced they would be starting solo schedules under a new name, NJZ, claiming ADOR had broken the terms of their contract. However, ADOR fired back with legal actions, including a lawsuit and a request to stop the girls from signing with other agencies or brands.

Last month, the court sided with ADOR, which forced the group to pause activities under the NJZ name. Their social media was also renamed from NJZ to “mhdhh” earlier this month.

Member Danielle recently opened up about her feelings in a long message on her birthday, just days after the official trial started on April 3 at the Seoul Central District Court.

Even though they’re not currently promoting, NewJeans’ fans continue to show strong support — and this small fan letter proves just how much that love means to the members.
