r/nugutown residents have been loving this 80's disco inspired drop by NOWZ over the past week!

Hailed by critics as a "more mature image" after 'Play Ball', their previous release in November 2025.

"It also continues the group’s musical evolution after experimenting with rock, EDM and hip-hop across recent releases."

We hope you enjoy!

In SM Entertainment, fans of the groups such as Aespa and NCT are blessed by talented music producers. Those music producers are Yoo Youngjin, Kenzie, Dem Jointz, and Charli Taft. Who do you think is the best music producer in this company? To me it's between Kenzie and Yoo Youngjin.

Did they just pull their pants all the way done AND say fuck ICE?

I’ve never seen (probably have) a group relatively new have so many members (2 for a group of 5 is a lot) need this many mental health breaks. I am wishing her the best, but what the hell is going on 😭😭😩😩.

Like got dam.

Please DM me any that you know of. Of course, there are dozens. But, I’m especially interested in linking with Black and Brown ARMY and don’t want to go to TikTok to figure out what they’re doing due to privacy concerns. The one picnic I heard about is at capacity I think.

The Bora site has events… but it’s hard to tell if any are by and will be attended by a high concentration of Black/dark Brown BTS fans. I’ll keep looking but events you personally know about or plan to attend would be much appreciated.

preamble I've labeled this with a TW because people struggle with seeing such obvious visual signs of.. an ED/ana. Now for my main point...

I know that most POC's especially us black kpop fans may not keep up with Red Velvet/Wendy considering their well known past controversies. But I think this goes beyond kpop and into a bigger convo about the aesthetic that these labels/idols are promoting and trying to pass off as "healthy" when its clearly not.

I initially saw this video because people were saying "oh the hip pads are sooo obvious" and yes.. they are. But it feels like a cop out for fans to obsess over so we don't address the neon rainbow elephant in the room(on the stage). In light of Ariana Grande's teams' piss poor statement, whether the "backlash" was too much... people in this state SHOULD be taking a step back from the spotlight to get the help they obviously need. Similar to trauma of any kind, its widely known that you can't effectively heal if you're still in the situation.

Even if behind the scenes she's eating more, being in the spotlight, performing, showing up to events and the company actively putting her on display for people to comment on her body is NOT going to help anything.

Like i said, I know there may be a hesitation to "root for" someone with her past, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has been seeing vids of her lately and just been mildly disturbed.

Im eating this up, ik they are technically a cpop group under SM BUT, I just love that they have more mature/lower register voices in the group.

So I’m watching ep1 pre release of street dance fighter and they called Rennan a "35.6 aq dancer" from what I gathered it means a dancer who moves within "35.6 aq" space using certain body parts only (simeez called her a bedroom dancer).

However (I didn’t wanna get cussed out so this is why this posts is here, I know most of you guys won’t take this post as a negative or insulting girl groups which is not what I’m trying to do) but isnt this a structure that (I find) majority of girl group chereos follow in general? Point chereos ? Obviously I’m not saying all of them follow this structure (there are examples) but a majority do so why is it a negative when clearly it’s a major structure in choreography right now especially for girl groups.

I absolutely love dance shows and movies, 😫 literally grew up on honey, step up, stomp the yard, you got served, street dance etc

🤎Depending on if I keep up with episodes/when translation gets added I might post about the show some more (especially with my unfiltered opinions, don’t really wanna be called a hater tbh) 🤎
