NOUERA

NOUERA (누에라) is a seven-member multinational boy group under Nouer Entertainment, formed through KBS2 survival competition MAKEMATE1. They debuted on February 26, 2025 with the mini album Chapter: New Is Now, announcing themselves with the kind of crisp, high-concept performance quality that K-pop fans expect from a fully built-out idol act. The group name distills the mission: nouer is French for to tie together, and the era suffix signals an ambition to connect musical eras across borders. NOUERA is multinational by design, with four Korean members (Hyunjun, Gihyeon, Junpyo, Yuseop), Chinese-Korean member Lin, Chinese member Fan, and Japanese maknae Miraku. Fan ranked first in MAKEMATE1, Lin second, and Miraku third, giving the group an internationally stacked foundation from day one. By March 2026, NOUERA had reached a career-high 240,000 first-week album sales with their third mini album POP IT LIKE, produced by EXO member Lay Zhang, a co-sign that positioned them as one of the most exciting second-generation prospects in the current K-pop cycle.
