NouerA sets July 27 release for 4th mini album '.exe', drops pink-toned scheduler

NouerA's fourth mini album, .exe (pronounced "이엑스이"), drops July 27 at 6 PM across online music platforms.

The comeback lands roughly four months after POP IT LIKE, released in March. That record set a personal best: 240,000 first-week copies on Hanteochart. The music video crossed 10 million views for the first time in the group's career. They hit Challenge Chart #1 on China's Douyin, Entertainment Chart #2, and Main Chart #26. On Mnet's M Countdown PICK and the KBS2 Music Bank fan stage, they took first place.

The pre-release rollout is already moving. A teaser poster went up on official SNS on July 6. A scheduler video followed on July 8, built around objects including hats, cupcakes, phones, dumbbells, and singing bowls — all in a pink-toned, kitschy mood. Today (July 9), a "File:Not Found" video kicks off the content schedule; the tracklist follows on July 10. Starting July 13, three versions of concept photos and two versions of concept films roll out sequentially, with an album preview and two rounds of MV teasers still to come before release day.

All of this is happening while NouerA is mid-tour. Their first world tour, CATCH THE WAVE, has already wrapped European dates and is continuing through Asia and North America. (Debut was last year with EP New is Now — they've moved fast.)

July 27 is the date to mark.
