The group were initially known as Pledis Boys, after their unofficial promotions with their seniors, Son Dambi and After School for their Happy Pledis 2012 “Love Letter” single. They also appeared on stage with them promoting the song "Love Letter". They made an unofficial first appearance on 29 December 2011 at the 2011 SBS Gayo Daejun, performing the 'shuffle' dance with labelmates After School. They made their first CF with After School's Lizzy.
On January 16, 2012, Pledis Entertainment revealed NU'EST's leader, JR. The next day they revealed two new members, Minhyun and Aron. And on January 19, they finally introduced the entire group by revealing the identity of their final two members, Baekho and Ren.
The music video for "Face" was released on March 15, 2012. NU'EST made their broadcast debut on the same day on Mnet's M! Countdown where they performed "I'm Sorry", a b-side track from their debut single album, and the title track "Face".
On July 9, 2014, NU'EST released their first full album, "Re:Birth", with the lead single "Good Bye Bye". They made their Japanese debut on November 5, with the single "Shalala Ring".
JR, Baekho, Minhyun, and Ren participated in the reality television series Produce 101 Season 2 during the first half of 2017. During their appearance on the show, previously released albums, rose on South Korean album charts, reflecting a sudden surge in popularity of the group. After the final episode of Produce aired, NU'EST's previous releases shot back up on music charts and topped the Gaon Chart. Minhyun ranked within the top 11, earning a position in the temporary boy group Wanna One, and he promoted exclusively with them for 1.5 years. The remaining members announced they would be promoting as NU'EST W until Minhyun's return. Due to the group's sudden surge in popularity, they (as NU'EST W) returned to music shows to promote their single "Hello" (first released in 2013), and ranked number 11 on Inkigayo.
On April 19, 2021, the group released their second studio album, "Romanticize", with the lead single "Inside Out". The album topped Hanteo's weekly album sales chart and earned two crowns on the Gaon Music Chart. The lead single also went on to score wins on M! Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo, earning the group its second music show grand slam since their single "Love Me" in 2019. Following the success of their second album, the group spent the rest of 2021 mostly working on their solo projects.
On February, 28, 2022, it was announced that the group's exclusive contract with Pledis Entertainment will end on March 14. It was also announced that members Aron, JR and Ren will leave the agency at the conclusion of their contract, while Baekho and Minhyun opted to renew. With the news of their contract expiring, the group confirmed their disbandment through handwritten letters to their fans, announcing their decision to pursue individual projects. A final compilation album, "Needle & Bubble", was released on March 15 to mark the group's 10-year anniversary before officially disbanding, with the new song "Again" ("다시, 봄) as the title track.

The lyrics of the song "BASS" by NU'EST describe the feeling of being trapped in a maze-like world and unable to escape the familiar sound that resonates within it. The singer is drawn to the bass, which represents a seductive force that can cause pain but cannot be resisted. The bass is also a symbol of the darkness that surrounds the singer, but it is essential to their existence, like a "dark star."
Despite the danger posed by the bass, the singer is willing to embrace it and venture deeper into the maze. The bass's power is all-consuming, and the singer is no longer in control. They have become a part of the harmony between themselves and the bass. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to accept the potential harm caused by their connection to the bass because it is an integral part of who they are.
Overall, "BASS" is a song about yielding to temptation and embracing the darkness that resides within us. The bass is both a source of pain and pleasure, but the singer is willing to endure the former for the sake of the latter.
