An element of mystery
Leading the group is Hyeonbin, born on August 31, 2002, making him 21 years old. Not much is known about his members, but there’s a lot of information about him out there. He has trained at KOZ Entertainment and WM Entertainment. He was even in WM’s pre-debut group Ggumnamu.

But most K-pop fans know Hyeonbin from his time on Mnet’s Produce X 101. Standing at 176 cm (5’9.5”), his rapping and composing skills, particularly with a piano, have earned him significant attention. That’s why CUBE set up a grand piano for him when he filmed his debut trailer. Hyeonbin’s debut has been highly anticipated, with many saying he’s become much more handsome over the years.
Following Hyeonbin in age is Yoon, born on August 27, 2003, making him 20 years old. Little is known about him, adding an element of mystery to his persona. Check out his debut trailer below.

Meet the maknaes
Yeonwoo is the group’s “middle child” (only because he was born about a month after Yoon was). His birthday is September 23, 2003, and he’s also 20 years old. He has been training at CUBE Entertainment for approximately six years, indicating a serious dedication to his craft.
Jinhyuk, born on May 21, 2004, is the second-youngest member at 19 years old. His first taste of the idol life came when he participated in a special performance of “Cold Killer” by PENTAGON‘s Hui. His debut trailer arrived on the official NOWADAYS YouTube channel at the same time as Hyeonbin’s and Yoon’s. Here he is in all his glory!

The group’s maknae (youngest member), Siyun, was also in that performance of “Cold Killer.” But that’s not all he and Jinhyuk have in common. They were born in the same year, but Siyun’s birthday is August 24, three months after Jinhyuk’s.
The future is bright for NOWADAYS
Recently, NOWADAYS was spotted filming content in Hongdae, dressed in casual yet stylish outfits while executing choreography. This sighting fueled the anticipation for what NOWADAYS will bring to the industry.
