“I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying” — A Disbanded Boy Group’s Reunion Leaves Fans Emotional
Pledis Entertainment‘s five-member boy group NU’EST made their eye-catching debut in 2012 with “FACE”. They persevered through ups and downs until they disbanded in 2022—after the release of their last album, Needle & Bubble, and the expiration of their contracts.

While disbanded groups usually reunite after several years and only for special occasions, that wasn’t the case for NU’EST.
