NU'EST is rewriting history.

After getting long-deserved attention from JR, Ren, Baekho, and Minhyun's appearances on 'Produce 101', the boys' old songs have been shooting up on music charts. It isn't just their songs that are doing well as the boys have pretty much taken over Naver, Korea's biggest search engine.

The boys' videos are currently featured on the front page of Naver. Their dance video for "Look", their MV for "Love Paint", and JR-Minhyun's unit song "Daybreak" MV were on Naver TV's music category.

Even more shockingly, the boys' "Hello", a song from 2012, is now up as a possible candidate for #1 on 'Inkigayo' this week, as their song can be voted for before the live broadcast airs and will be used to determine the ranking. It'll be hard for them to actually get #1 as they'll have no album sales, but it's still an amazing feat.

Congratulations to NU'EST.

NU'EST

All we need is a fancam to make them go viral i am so glad they are doing well this is just like exid when up and down was released

this is great news for Nu'Est. But sadly this is also the epitome of everything that is wrong with the music audience in South Korea. The songs are just as good/bad today as they were in 2012 but back then nobody cared about this group because they weren't hyped or famous enough. If the music audience cared more about actual songs than about who is releasing the songs (big label/big group/famous idol/etc) the industry would be so much better

are we about to have an Up&Down moment here? The increase in popularity straight after 101 was expected but to make it as far as the music shows now THAT is unexpected!!
