It is said that NU'EST members are completely immersed in working on their new album. The group's forthcoming full-length album is expected to be composed of high-quality tracks. But ahead of NU'EST's comeback, the Pledis Entertainment boy group will be celebrating the ninth anniversary of their debut.

On March 4, Pledis Entertainment shared a timetable of what content fans can expect from the five-piece boy band in the coming weeks. The event is advertised as "2021 Ha99y 9th anniversary to NU'EST" and the schedule is presented of what appears to be a café receipt.

The countdown to the group's ninth debut anniversary has started. According to the "9ood Café" timetable, NU'EST will drop individual images of the members, as well as short messages.
