[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Idol group NU'EST cited "fighting a lot" as the reason for their longevity as a group.

On the afternoon of the 12th, NU'EST (Aron, JR, Minhyun, Baekho, Ren), a group in their 9th year since debut, appeared as guests on MBC FM4U's "Noon's Hope Song with Kim Shinyoung."

On this day, DJ Kim Shinyoung started by saying, "I watched NU'EST's debut stage. Has it already been 9 years?" The NU'EST members answered about their secret to longevity, "Because we've fought a lot."

JR said, "We met when we were very young, so we've fought over everything from trivial things to big issues. We've fought over all sorts of things, so now there’s nothing left to fight about. We learned to understand and respect each other."

When Kim Shinyoung asked, "I heard you even fought over lunch menus," Minhyun replied, "Even if we wanted to eat different things, back then we couldn't all eat what we wanted. There were some small fights at those times." JR added, "Nowadays, we actually unify the menu."

Regarding NU'EST's 8th mini-album comeback show held on the 11th, Minhyun shared, "There was a lot to prepare, and recently we haven't had many opportunities to meet fans, so I thought it was a good chance. Since it's under our name, we were also ambitious."

JR said, "We were very ambitious. We prepared harder than usual. What we would normally do twice, we did four times."

Baekho added, "As Minhyun said, since we didn't have many chances to meet, I was worried it might be boring, but I was very happy to be able to hold the comeback show."

Meanwhile, NU'EST released their 8th mini-album "The Nocturne" at 6 p.m. on the 11th and made their comeback. NU'EST plans to continue activities with the title track "I'm in Trouble," starting with Mnet's "M Countdown" on the 14th.
