The group NOUERA has achieved a new career high with its latest comeback.
According to Noua Entertainment, on July 8, NOUERA set a new personal record with its second mini album, “n: number of cases,” reaching 208,699 copies sold in the first week (based on Hanteo Chart data). This surpasses the 160,000 sales of their debut album, marking the group’s best performance to date. The achievement is all the more impressive considering it comes during a highly competitive summer comeback season, solidifying their status as rookies to watch on Billboard.
With this second release, NOUERA reunited with its global fanbase, known as NovA, bringing an upgraded image and making a powerful return to the stage. Even before debuting, the group had captured the attention of K-pop fans worldwide, and this comeback reinforces its presence with a refined aesthetic and stronger stage presence.
On the day of the comeback, NOUERA hosted a “Countdown Live” on its official YouTube channel, connecting directly with fans in real time. They followed up with dynamic performances on Mnet’s “M Countdown,” KBS2’s “Music Bank,” and SBS’s “Inkigayo,” showcasing their unique musical identity and visuals — a strong declaration of their return as Billboard rookies.
Their new track, “n (number of cases),” blends emotional lo-fi hip-hop with sleek future sounds. The song explores the idea of making creative choices beyond all known possibilities, with an unpredictable and dynamic structure that has received praise from critics.
The music video for “n (number of cases)” is also drawing attention. Featuring a “young agents on a mission” theme, it continues the storyline from their debut, enhanced by even more polished visuals. Shot across South Korea, China, and Japan, the video portrays NOUERA as a group that transcends time and space — a true visual experience.
With this new sales record and growing momentum, NOUERA is proving themselves as a rising group to watch. They plan to appear on more music shows and share a wide range of content to stay closely connected with their global fans, NovA. In addition, their first-ever fan concerts, “EnTER the mission,” are scheduled for August 3 in Yokohama (Japan) and August 16 in Seoul (South Korea) — promising unforgettable moments for their fans.
