2015–2016: Japanese promotions, Q Is and Canvas

NU'EST in April 2016

NU'EST released the digital single "I'm Bad" on February 27, 2015,[21] with a limited edition physical release on March 15 to celebrate their third anniversary. Baekho did not participate in the lead single as he was recovering from vocal cord polyps surgery, but he did contribute to the B-side track, "A Scene Without You." On April 2, Minhyun collaborated with Korean indie artist Fromm on the single "The Aftermath". On April 19, Aron ended his position as a DJ at Arirang's Music Access. The group held their first solo showcase in North America in Dallas, put together by My Music Taste, on third May.[22]

NU'EST released their second Japanese single, "Nanananamida", on May 20.[23][unreliable source?] On August 14, Aron took up a position as a DJ on SBS PopAsia with his own show Aron's Hangout.[24] NU'EST released their first Japanese studio album, Bridge the World, on November 18, after pre-releasing the tracks "Bridge the World", "Cherry", "Access to You", and "Ame Nochi Eien".[25][unreliable source?] "Cherry" was used as the theme song to the film Their Distance, which the members starred in as their Japanese film debut.[26]

Their fourth EP, Q is, was released on February 17, 2016, with the lead single "Overcome". They began promotions for the album the following day.[27] NU'EST released their fifth extended play Canvas and the accompanying single "Love Paint (Every Afternoon)" on August 29, 2016.[28] After four years of promotions, the group received their first music show nomination on The Show. On October 6, 2016, the music video for "Daybreak", a duet between Minhyun and JR from Canvas, was released.[29]

2017–2018: Produce 101 Season 2 and NU'EST W

After the commercial decline of their previous releases and considerations of disbandment,[30][31] JR, Baekho, Minhyun, and Ren participated in the reality television series Produce 101 Season 2 during the first half of 2017.[32] During their appearance on the show, previously released albums, including Q Is and Canvas, rose on South Korean album charts, reflecting a sudden surge in popularity of the group.[33][34]

After the final episode of Produce 101 Season 2 aired, NU'EST's previous releases shot back up on music charts and topped the Gaon Chart.[35] Only Minhyun ranked within the top 11, earning a position in the temporary boy group Wanna One, and he promoted exclusively with them for 1.5 years.[36][37] The remaining members announced they would be promoting as NU'EST W until Minhyun's return.[38] Due to the group's sudden surge in popularity, they (as NU'EST W) returned to music shows to promote their single "Hello" (first released in 2013), and ranked number 11 on Inkigayo.[39]

Following the conclusion of Produce 101 Season 2, JR and Ren also became models for the cosmetics company Labiotte.[40] Subsequently, Baekho and Aron also joined their groupmates in promoting the brand. Ren joined the JTBC variety show Learning the Hard Way, of which he is a fixed member.[41] Aron featured on Raina's single "Loop".[42]

While Minhyun's Wanna One contract officially ended on December 31, 2018, he did not officially return to NU'EST until a month later.[43] This was due to Pledis and Swing Entertainment coming to an agreement that allowed Minhyun to attend scheduled year-end shows and award ceremonies throughout January 2019 as a member of Wanna One.[43] Minhyun's final Wanna One activity before returning to NU'EST was a final concert (titled Therefore) that was held across four days, ending on January 27, 2019.[43]

2019–2020: Happily Ever After, The Table, The Nocturne, Drive

After reuniting for the first time in almost two years, NU'EST announced their contract renewal with Pledis Entertainment.[44][45] On March 15, 2019, they released a special digital single "A Song For You" to celebrate their seventh anniversary since debut.[46]

On April 3, Minhyun released a digital solo single "Universe" as the pre-release single from the upcoming NU'EST album.[47] The single is accompanied by the music video shot in Budapest and Milan.[48] The group held their first solo concert in six-years titled "Segno" on April 12–14 to an audience of 36,000.[49][50] Their sixth EP Happily Ever After was released on April 29 with the lead single "Bet Bet".[51] It is their first release in three years and the last in the three-part series of "Knights searching for the Queen" narrative which began with their fourth EP in 2016.[52] The EP secured triple crowns on Gaon Chart for the week of April 28 – May 4 by topping the album chart, digital download chart, and BGM chart after its release.[53] In May 2019, NU'EST released an official audio recording of the song "Blessing", which had been recorded as a candidate for their debut song in 2012.[54]

On October 21, the group released their seventh EP The Table with the lead single "Love Me".[55] The single went on to win in all five major music broadcast shows, which also marked the group's first win since debut on Show! Music Core and Inkigayo.[56]

Seven months after their last comeback, the group released their eighth EP The Nocturne with the lead single titled "I'm in Trouble" on May 11, 2020.[57] The album topped the Album Sales, Retail Album, Download, and BGM charts on Gaon's Weekly Chart.[58] "I'm in Trouble" also debuted at no. 6 on Gaon's Digital Chart, becoming the complete group's first lead single since debut to break into the Top 10, excluding their singles as NU'EST W.[59]

On October 7, NU'EST released their second Japanese-language album, "Drive". The song "Drive" is the group's first Japanese album release in 5 years after "Bridge the World".[60]

2021–2022: Romanticize, solo projects, Needle & Bubble and disbandment

On April 19, 2021, the group released their second studio album, Romanticize, with the lead single "Inside Out".[61] Only four members participated in full promotions for the album as Aron went on a brief hiatus in January 2021 due to anxiety issues (but performed with the group in music shows), eventually rejoining the group in June.[62] The album topped Hanteo's weekly album sales chart and earned two crowns on the Gaon Music Chart.[63] The lead single also went on to score wins on M! Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo, earning the group its second music show grand slam since their single "Love Me" in late 2019.[63]

Following the success of their second album, the group spent the rest of 2021 mostly working on their solo projects. JR made his acting debut in the SBS television series Let Me Be Your Knight; Minhyun began filming the tvN series Alchemy of Souls and briefly reunited with Wanna One at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards; Aron hosted Circle Room, a talk show exclusively on Twitter; Baekho made his musical theater debut in the Seoul productions of Midnight Sun and Altar Boyz, and Ren performed the title role in the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch.[64][65][66][67][68][69][70]

The group held their first live in-person concert in 2 years titled The Black from November 26 to 28, 2021 at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul.[71] On December 2, the group performed in and won the Best Achievement award at the 2021 Asia Artist Awards.[72] Later that month, they performed at the 2021 KBS Song Festival and SBS Gayo Daejeon, held on December 17 and 25, respectively.[73]

After nearly a year of no new releases, it was announced on February 28, 2022, that the group's exclusive contract with Pledis Entertainment will end on March 14.[74] It was also announced that members Aron, JR, and Ren will leave the agency at the conclusion of their contract, while Baekho and Minhyun opted to renew.[75] With the news of their contract expiring, the group confirmed their disbandment through handwritten letters to their fans, announcing their decision to pursue individual projects.[76] A compilation album, Needle & Bubble, was released on March 15 to mark the group's 10-year anniversary as they officially disbanded on the same day.[77][78]

To mark their seventh debut anniversary, the group donated funds to The Snail of Love in March 2019 to cover cochlear implant surgery and language rehabilitation therapy for children.[79] The donation also helped fund music education programs to help people with developmental disabilities connect with the world through music.[80]

Sub-groups

NU'EST-M

From 2013 to 2014, NU'EST-M was formed as a sub-group in collaboration with Yuehua Entertainment to exclusively target the Chinese market.[81] All five members participated in NU'EST-M with the addition of Jason, a Chinese trainee from Yuehua Entertainment.[30][81] The group recorded Chinese versions of the lead singles "Face" and "Sleep Talking."[82]
