NOUERA

NOUERA (누에라) is a seven-member boy group formed through KBS2 survival show MAKEMATE1 and launched by Nouer Entertainment. The lineup was multinational from day one, bringing together Hyunjun, Gihyeon, Junpyo, Yuseop, Lin, Fan, and Miraku as a group built for cross-border scale instead of a Korea-only rollout.

The early setup gave the group a clear competitive angle. Fan finished first on MAKEMATE1, Lin second, and Miraku third, while the full seven-member team arrived with enough range to feel polished immediately on stage. Their February 2025 debut mini album Chapter: New Is Now established the group, then n: number of cases kept the pace moving the same year.

By March 2026, NOUERA had turned that rookie momentum into stronger numbers with POP IT LIKE, a release tied to career-high first-week sales of more than 240,000 copies. That jump mattered because it showed the group was not just surviving on audition-show familiarity. It was building real market traction inside the current boy-group field.
