The new future TV "ABEMA" will exclusively and freely stream the special program "Congratulations! Japanese Debut: A Thorough Analysis of 5th Generation Rookie NOWZ's Charm in ABEMA" on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 9 PM JST. This program celebrates the Japanese debut of NOWZ, a five-member boy group that debuted in 2024 from CUBE ENTERTAINMENT, the agency behind groups like (G)I-DLE. As a countdown to the program's broadcast, individual member questionnaire interviews will be released for five consecutive days starting Tuesday, March 24. The fifth day features the answers from Si-yoon, whose sharp gaze and husky voice are his charm points.

NOWZ is a notable 5th generation rookie group consisting of five members: Hyunbin, Yun, Yeonwoo, Jinhyuk, and Si-yoon. The group name "NOW" signifies the present moment, while "Z" represents not an end, but infinite possibilities and new beginnings.

This special program will thoroughly analyze the charms of NOWZ, who made their Japanese debut on March 4th of this year. Hosted by Masayuki Furuya, the members will take on Japanese variety show challenges head-on. The program will showcase the members' unexpected sides and true selves as they actively participate, despite some initial confusion with Japanese-style variety shows, by utilizing the Japanese they have diligently studied.
