NEWBEAT, the emerging K-pop group, has boldly shared their aspirations through a stunning photo shoot.

On the 24th, Allure Korea unveiled a digital photo spread and interview featuring NEWBEAT members Park Min-seok, Hong Min-seong, Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong, Choi Seo-hyun, Kim Tae-yang, Jo Yoon-hoo, and Kim Ri-woo.

In the photos, NEWBEAT showcases a diverse range of styles that blend individuality with emotion. The mix of classic and street, minimal and retro styles highlights each member's charm while achieving perfect harmony as a group.

NEWBEAT made their official debut in March with their first full-length album, 'RAW AND RAD.' Park Min-seok recalled their debut stage on Mnet's 'M Countdown' as the most memorable moment of the year. He shared, "The longing for debut grew through trainee life, survival programs, and a busking tour in the U.S. The emotions of excitement and thrill on our debut stage are unforgettable."

Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong remembered the 'Seoul Spring Festa Opening Seoul Wonder Show' as a standout performance, noting, "It was the largest stage we've performed on. Despite the pressure, it was fun and memorable." Choi Seo-hyun expressed excitement about their first outdoor stage at the '2025 Love Some Festival,' saying, "It was exactly the scene I imagined while dreaming of becoming a singer."

Hong Min-seong revealed his mindset before performances, "I tell myself to relax and show our best. Many people still don't know us, so I have a growing desire to properly showcase what NEWBEAT is all about." Jo Yoon-hoo recommended their debut show video, asserting, "It captures each member's charm perfectly, making it easy to become a fan."

Kim Ri-woo described the group's dynamic as "like a magnet," explaining, "The north and south poles have opposite traits but attract each other perfectly. Each member has unique charms and works hard individually, but when it's time to unite, we come together like a magnet."

Kim Tae-yang expressed curiosity about the future, "As our individual charms and personalities become more defined, I'm curious about how each member's musical world will unfold and what new colors NEWBEAT will adopt." He added, "As we gain experience and improve our skills, I hope we can create our own music and that each member grows into an artist with such capabilities."
