Gihyeon, as the main vocalist, impresses with his powerful voice and unique timbre, bringing a notable emotional depth to the song's choruses. Yuseop, more discreet, plays the role of secondary vocalist and enriches the whole with a soft vocal harmony, perfectly complementing the more intense moments. As for Junpyo, the main rapper, he stands out for his fast and precise flow, infusing raw energy into the verses and energizing the entire title. He had also attracted attention during the broadcast for his leadership qualities, showing himself to be trustworthy, courageous and determined. “N.I.N” is really a very good first title song for a first album! Don't miss it because at 2.32 min, there is an absolutely captivating dance passage !
With Chapter: New is Now, NouerA doesn’t just follow the wave, they create it. Each track on the album reveals a unique aspect of their talent, oscillating between power and subtlety, tradition and modernity. If they were expected to be the “monster rookies” of 2025, they have proven that they are much more than that: true pioneers of a new musical era.
