[ABEMA] K-POP 5th Generation Rookies NOWZ Take on Japanese Variety Shows for the First Time! Jinhyuk: "My Charm Point is the Gap Between On and Off Stage" [5-Day Consecutive Member Questionnaire Project]

The new future TV "ABEMA" will exclusively stream the special program "Celebrate! Japanese Debut: A Thorough Anatomy of 5th Generation Rookies NOWZ in ABEMA" for free in Japan, starting at 9:00 PM on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The group, a five-member boy band that debuted in 2024 from CUBE ENTERTAINMENT (home to (G)I-DLE and others), is celebrating their Japanese debut. As a countdown project leading up to the broadcast, individual member questionnaire interviews will be released for five consecutive days starting Tuesday, March 24. Day 4 features answers from Jinhyuk, who specializes in powerful rapping.

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

This program is a special feature that thoroughly dissects the appeal 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. 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.
