Cube Entertainment's rookie boy group NOWZ has been making remarkable strides since their debut.

NOWZ released their first mini album 'IGNITION', featuring the pre-release track 'Fly to the Youth (Feat. YUQI)', the title track 'EVERGLOW', and the song 'Problem Child', all of which have climbed the international music charts.

Last month, 'Fly to the Youth (Feat. YUQI)' soared to the top of China's QQ Music daily new song chart. Following its release, it also ranked high on Douyin's challenge chart in China, capturing significant attention in the Chinese-speaking world. Both the Korean and Chinese versions continue to rank well in the region, showing impressive longevity.

'EVERGLOW' made a strong showing on the global music platform Spotify. It reached as high as 4th on Taiwan's Spotify daily chart and consistently stayed in the Top 10, also securing the 11th spot on the weekly chart. In Singapore, it achieved a daily chart peak of 8th and 13th on the weekly chart, marking significant achievements. On South Korea's Melon platform, it hit 74th on the HOT100, 30th on the latest release chart for its first week, and 35th on Bugs' real-time chart.
