Pledis entertainment is ready to debut their five member boy group New East (NU’EST).
New East (NU’EST) stands for: N (new), E (established), Style, and Tempo. A powerful group name needs strong members and with the groups plans to bring “a new style to the music industry” along with their outstanding skills it seems like a perfect fit.
Prior to their official debut the members of New East (NU’EST) appeared in a New Balance commercial and alongside their label mates After School promoted the song “Love Letter” this past December.
It seems rookie boy groups will be starting the KPop year off with other boy groups such as EXO and BAP set to debut soon. New East (NU’EST) will debut with a new and stylish concept with their first vintage European-style teaser in MARCH.

JR stands for ‘Junior Royal’, the bright background lighting combined with JR’s charismatic look on his face accentuates the leader’s strength. Unlike the cute image that had been made public already, JR’s look on the teaser is not that of an average 18 year old.
JR is the first male trainee of Pledis and his talent as a dancer is highly respected, enough so that he trains other trainees as well. Aside from his amazing dancing skills, JR is also known to be a skillfull rapper.
JR has already made a TV appearance on KBS’ ‘Hello’ in their ’3 seconds’ segment, drawing attention from the viewers.
