NU'EST 'booked and busy' as JR signs new label while Aron to hold sold-out fan meet

Fans were impressed as Aron's fanmeet tickets were sold out in 40 seconds

It was bittersweet when Pledis announced that NU’EST would be disbanding right on their 10th debut anniversary. Fans were disheartened as we barely got any comebacks in the last few years after HYBE acquired the label. From the behind-the-scenes clips of NU’EST’s final comeback ‘Needle & Bubble’, the boys were also cheery which had fans wondering if they even knew they were going to be disbanded.

However, the boys are now flourishing on their own as they have gone their separate ways but have still not forgotten NU’EST and their fans. In fact, in a recent podcast, Aron got brutally honest about the aftermath when the boy group competed in the survival show ‘Produce 101 Season 2’ which formed the project group Wanna One with member Minhyun. Well, the boys are booked and busy as two of them have new agencies and have solo gigs like JR, Baekho, and Ren.
