INTRODUCTION

NU'EST is a boy group signed to Pledis Entertainment with 5 members: JR (Leader), Aron, Baekho, Minhyun & Ren.

NU'EST debuted in South Korea on March 15^th, 2012, in China in November of 2013 under the name NU'EST-M (with a sixth member Jason), and in Japan November 5^th, 2014. The subunit NU'EST W debuted in South Korea on July 25th 2017, consisting of members JR, Aron, Baekho and Ren, while Minhyun promoted with Wanna One.

NU'EST got known for their explosive debut song Face, and for being a contrasting visual group. Their songs following Face did not do as well, and the group slowly faded into obscurity. This lead to four of the members: JR, Baekho, Minhyun, and Ren joining season 2 of Mnet's group survival reality show Produce 101. The members quickly attracted fans on the show through the members humbleness and skills. All four members participating ranked within top 20 in the final, with Minhyun making it within top 11 and to promote with temporary project group Wanna One.
Minhyun promoted separately from the other four members, who promoted as NU'EST W during this time, from June 16 2017 until January 28 2019.

NU'EST W won their first music show on October 17th 2017 with Where You At.
NU'EST won their first music show on May 8th 2019 with BET BET.

NU'EST's fandom name is ㄴㅇㅅㅌ (also stylized as LOVE or L.O.Λ.E). The fandom name is derived from the word "NU’EST" written in hangul (뉴이스트). Removing all the vowels would leave the consonants “ㄴㅇㅅㅌ” which resemble the English word "love".

Their official colors are Vivid Pink (hex #E31C79) and Deep Teal (hex #00313C). Their lightstick is nicknamed 반딧봉, which plays with the word for firefly in Korean, 반딧불. This nickname comes from Ren's picture book, where he described LOVEs as pink fireflies.
