NouerA confirms July comeback with fourth mini album '.exe', out July 27

NouerA's fourth mini album .exe drops July 27, the group's agency confirmed alongside a teaser poster released on July 7.

The poster leans into a computer-boot concept. Error messages reading "실행 파일이 준비되지 않았습니다" (the executable file is not ready) and "잠시 후 다시 실행해주세요" (please try again in a moment) flash across the screen as the system attempts to run. An album titled after a file extension gets a deliberately glitchy tease.

The comeback lands while NouerA is mid-tour. Their first world tour, CATCH THE WAVE, moves from Europe into Asia and North America this month. New album rollout plus a full tour schedule in the same window is a lot.

NouerA debuted in February 2025 after forming through the 2024 KBS audition program Make Mate One. The seven-member lineup: Korean members Gihyeon, Junpyo, Hyeonjun, and Yuseop. Chinese members Lin and Pan. Japanese member Mirakuro. .exe is their fourth mini album since debut.
