[ABEMA] K-POP 5th Generation Rookies NOWZ Take on Japanese Variety Shows for the First Time! Jinhyuk: "My charm point is the gap between my stage persona and my real self" [5-Day Consecutive Member Questionnaire Project]

The new future TV "ABEMA" will exclusively stream the special program "Celebrate! Japan Debut: A Thorough Anatomy of 5th Generation Rookies NOWZ in ABEMA" for free starting at 9:00 PM on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The program commemorates the Japanese debut of the five-member boy group NOWZ, who debuted in 2024 from CUBE ENTERTAINMENT, the agency home to (G)I-DLE and others. As a countdown project leading up to the broadcast, we are releasing individual member questionnaire interviews for five consecutive days starting Tuesday, March 24. On the fourth day, we present the answers from Jinhyuk, who specializes in powerful rapping.

NOWZ is a noteworthy 5th-generation rookie group consisting of five members: Hyunbin, Yoon, Youngwoo, Jinhyuk, and Siyun. The group name "NOW" signifies the present moment, while "Z" represents infinite possibilities and a new beginning, rather than an end.

This special program will thoroughly analyze the appeal of NOWZ, who made their Japanese debut on March 4th of this year. Hosted by Masayuki Furuya, the members will dive headfirst into Japanese variety show challenges. Despite being confused by their first experience with Japanese-style variety, the members use the Japanese they have been studying hard to actively participate, revealing their unexpected sides and true personalities.
