Cube Entertainment will debut K-pop boy band Nowadays within the first half of this year — the agency's first new boy band in eight years since Pentagon and its first new band in six years since (G)I-DLE.

The announcement came on the band's new social media accounts which opened on Sunday at midnight. A video was released including the words "Now, A," "Days," "Curious," "Dreamy" and "Youthful," hinting at the band's concept and theme.

"Nowadays is a new boy band that Cube Entertainment proudly presents for the first time in eight years," the agency said in a press release.

Details other than the number of members were not disclosed.

Cube Entertainment male artists have been signing with new agencies after their seven-year contract with Cube ended. Only three members of Pentagon are still with Cube Entertainment, while no members of boy band BTOB signed on.
