NOWZ, the rookie boy group under Cube Entertainment, is set to make a comeback after a seven-month break, marking their first release since rebranding from NOWADAYS.

Cube Entertainment announced the group's comeback via official social media channels on June 7, revealing the promotional timetable for their first mini album. The group will begin with a project titled 'NOWZ with ?' on June 9, followed by a series of content drops including a story film, concept photos and videos, and a music video teaser. A pre-release single is scheduled for June 17, accompanied by a live comeback broadcast.

This marks NOWZ’s first comeback since their digital single 'Let's get it', released in November 2024 under their former name. The group officially adopted the name NOWZ on June 2, 2025.

The upcoming mini album has been titled 'IGNITION', though the full tracklist remains undisclosed. Teaser images shared by the group — including a sunlit water glass, an empty rooftop, and headphones on a grassy field — hint at a fresh, youth-driven concept.

Cube stated that NOWZ aims to express a more defined identity and musical style with this release, building on the growth they’ve achieved since their debut.
