Boy group NOWZ has previewed new charms with an unprecedented 'Zero Sexy' concept.
NOWZ (Hyun-bin, Yoon, Yeon-woo, Jin-hyeok, Si-yoon) held a showcase to commemorate the release of their new digital single 'Achilles' on the 5th at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.
On this day, Jin-hyeok stated, "I thought it was a song I wanted to show on stage as soon as possible. Even while performing, I thought, 'Finally, we are showing it.' It seems like we wanted to prove that we are a 'growing team' with every activity, so for today's stage, we will do our best to show how much we have grown without any regrets."
Following him, Yeon-woo said, "It has been a while since we greeted you with a digital single. We are very nervous and excited, but we will show a wonderful stage today." Hyun-bin added with a smile, "For this comeback, we sharpened our visuals, stage presence, and skills, and even sharpened our teeth. We hope you will watch closely."


'Achilles' is a new track released five months after their Japanese debut mini-album 'NOWZ' last March, reinterpreting the unique punk and disco elements of the 1980s with NOWZ's own touch. It delicately portrays the pull and confused emotions of the moment one falls in love at first sight.
The keyword for this activity is 'Zero Sexy.' Si-yoon expressed his ambitious plans, saying, "Just like zero-calorie cola that tastes sweet without sugar, we will show a fresh sexy style that stays true to the essence."
Hyun-bin said, "Since we are presenting 'Zero Sexy,' we want to show a fresh sexy charm that we haven't been able to show until now. That's why all members worked hard on both diet and practice. We prepared good visuals and skills." Si-yoon added, "We have always shared music related to youth, but this time it is a story about youth and love. We tried to show a more mature side of NOWZ," highlighting their new charms.
Yeon-woo previewed an active schedule. He said, "We had 'Waterbomb' in Macao last year, and I feel that Si-yoon and other members are gradually getting better physically. It would be great to attend events like water play parties such as 'Waterbomb.' Musically, we also want to show many different sides."



In the K-pop market, August is known as a period to determine the 'Summer King' and is famous as the most competitive comeback battleground of the year.
Hyun-bin said, "At first, we were very worried because many cool senior artists and idols were coming out. However, after our internal deliberations, we decided to compare ourselves rather than others and asked, 'Can we become a better NOWZ?' It seems like we have shown a cooler image than in our last activity, so perhaps the distinct color of NOWZ can shine even more."
Finally, regarding their activity goals, Jin-hyeok revealed, "We think we targeted a gap that doesn't exist in the current music market, so we will make this part stand out through our activities. We hope many people get to know us through this opportunity."

'Achilles' will be released on the 5th at 6 p.m. through various online music sites.
