Cube Entertainment's new boy group NOWZ has unveiled a striking transformation, stepping into the roles of baseball manga protagonists.

On the 20th, NOWZ (members Hyunbin, Yoon, Yeonwoo, Jinhyeok, and Siyun) released illustration posters for their third single 'Play Ball' through their official channels, generating significant buzz.

The posters depict the members in baseball uniforms, exuding the aura of main characters from a beloved manga. The visuals highlight Yeonwoo as the ace pitcher, Jinhyeok as the catcher, Yoon as the designated hitter, Siyun at first base, and Hyunbin as the center fielder, promising an exciting performance on the baseball diamond and hinting at a grand 'home run' in the music industry.

These unique illustrations were personally created by an artist who is a passionate baseball fan, adding a special touch to the 'Play Ball' concept and further heightening anticipation for the single's release.

NOWZ's new single 'Play Ball' features a total of three tracks: the title song 'HomeRUN', 'GET BUCK', and 'A World Without a Name'. 'HomeRUN' is an EDM-based dance track characterized by its heavy drops and bold rapping, symbolizing the challenges and achievements of youth in turning uncertain futures into opportunities.
