Returning to the K-pop scene with a new album The Nocturne on Monday, five-member boy band NU'EST explores the thrill and fascination of nighttime with an homme fatale concept.

The EP is NU'EST's first music release since The Table seven months ago. It marks a dramatic style change into alluring R&B pop from the previous album's breezy, uplifting sound.
