NOWZ's Jinhyuk Unveils Bold New Look for 'IGNITION' Album Launch

NOWZ's Jinhyuk has undergone a dramatic image transformation.

On November 9, NOWZ held a media showcase at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their first mini-album, 'IGNITION'.

This marks the group's first comeback since changing their name from NOWadays to NOWZ. With the new name, NOWZ has also made a visual shift. Hyunbin introduced Jinhyuk, saying, "Jinhyuk's passion was so intense that his hair turned white. He is the member with the most significant visual change."

Jinhyuk, sporting bright bleached hair, stated, "I wanted to transform my image as much as possible and show a strong appearance. Instead of making a subtle change, I thought it would be better to make a bold one, so I dyed my hair like this."

The title track 'EVERGLOW' is an alternative rock song that blends refreshing electric guitar and metal sounds. It conveys a message of unwavering determination, like a flame that continues to burn even in ashes, expressing NOWZ's intense charm. Under the direction of main producer EL CAPITXN, who has worked on numerous hit songs, members Jinhyuk and Siyoon participated in rap-making.

NOWZ's first mini-album 'IGNITION' will be released on various music sites at 6 PM today.
