Translation missing: en.pagefly.article.by_authorMay 30, 2023

Last year, five-member boy band NU'EST broke up after 10 years together. Since then, the members have been active solo and entertain fans in television shows, series and musicals. Kim Jonghyeon, Baekho and Hwang Minhyun even released their first solo album in late 2022/early 2023! Now Ren, who has recently been seen primarily in musicals, has announced his first mini album! It's called Rendezvous and will be released on June 14th.

Ren has revealed three different versions that we are introducing to you today: SEED, SEASON and PLVE.

The two versions SEED and SEASON each consist of a 64-page photo book, which contains a CD and many colorful extras:

Two of 20 possible photo cards, one of four folded posters, one of four instant photos, one of four wish tags and a sticker pack. The two versions are very similar, but also offer variety because the photo book as well as the CD and the stickers differ depending on the version.

Before you decide on a version, we present the PLVE version:

The PLVE version is perfect for everyone who loves photo cards and prefers to listen to their music on their cell phone rather than on CD. It contains one of eight QR photo cards, one of eight photo cards and one of four standing photo cards. The QR photo card is the same size as normal photo cards and also shows a picture of Ren on the front. With the QR code on the back you can access exclusive digital content such as music, photos and videos.

In addition, every buyer receives one of four possible Mini L holders and a lyric paper.

You can pre-order all three versions from Nolae starting today!

A tracklist for the album has already been released on Twitter. It will contain five songs, including the title track READY TO MOVE.

Ren is of course best known as a member of NU'EST, but many fans only got to know him and his bandmates in 2017 on the survival show "Produce 101 Season 2", where the successful project group Wanna One was founded. Ren, Baekho and Jonghyeon made it to the finals but were unfortunately eliminated, while Minhyun debuted in Wanna One.

Since then, Ren has continued to perform with the other NU'EST members, appearing regularly on entertainment shows such as JTBC Hogu Chart and building a career as a musical performer. He made his musical debut as drag queen Jamie in “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.” Most recently he played D'Artagnan in "The Three Musketeers."

Ren left Pledis Entertainment, his home since 2012, in March 2022 and signed a contract with BPM Entertainment in May. In addition to Ren, the girl group Viviz and the solo artist Soyou (formerly Sistar) also belong to BPM. We wish Ren much success with his solo career!
