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.
Good Bye Bye
NU'EST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
난 너에게서 왜 헤매는지 (헤매는지)
알지 못했어
풀리지도 않을 맘에 상처만 남기고
그럴 때면 내게 말해
이 추억만은 남겨줘
사라진 innocence
나만을 밝혀 주던 빛은 너인데
시간의 덫에 또 속아 머물 순 없어
Hey good bye baby, good bye baby
너 없이 매일 눈감아도
이젠 그만
Good bye baby good bye baby
니 손 다신 못 잡는대도
끝없는 터널 속을 거닌대도
이겨낼 수 있어
And let me say
Good bye baby good bye baby
난 너 없이도 살 수 있어
죽지 못해 산다는 게
내일에 내 모습일까 봐 걱정이 돼
기나긴 삶의 하루 중간 어디쯤에는
널 잊을 곳은 있을거야 확신해 늘
아주 가끔은 우릴 돌아봐
노력은 생각보다 내게 솔직하니까
어제는 잊고 또 일어서면 돼
풀린 신발끈 다시 묶고 뛰면 돼
낡은 일기장에 적힌 우리처럼
길을 잃고서 더 이상 살 수 없어 (살 수 없어)
남겨진 innocence
Good bye baby good bye baby
너 없이 매일 눈감아도
이젠 그만
Good bye baby good bye baby
니 손 다신 못 잡는대도 oh
끝없는 터널 속을 거닌대도
이겨낼 수 있어
And let me say
Good bye baby good bye baby
난 너 없이도 살 수 있어
내 눈물이 땅에 닿는 모습
보일 수 없어 난 계속 tic tic tac
나의 두 눈이 너의 입술이
다시 만날 땐 우린 빛이 날 거야 hey
Good bye baby good bye baby
너 없이 매일 눈감아도
Good bye (이젠 그만)
Good bye baby good bye baby
니 손 다신 못 잡는대도 baby
끝없는 터널 속을 거닌대도
이겨낼 수 있어
And let me say
Good bye baby good bye baby
이젠 괜찮아 without you
The lyrics of NU'EST's song "Good Bye Bye" revolve around the pain and sadness of a breakup, and the struggle to move on from a past love. The opening verses describe the singer's tears and cold expressions, and their confusion about why they are still struggling to let go of their past love. They express the desire to hold onto their memories and innocence despite the fact that their heart is wounded and may never be fully healed. The chorus repeats the phrase "Good bye baby," emphasizing the need to say goodbye to the past and the hope for a brighter future without their former partner. The singer asserts that they can overcome the heartache and move on, even though it may be difficult to do so.
The second verse reflects on the fragility of life and the fear of being forgotten. The singer wonders if their current self will be a reflection of who they are in the future, and whether they will ever be able to forget their former love. The line "풀린 신발끈 다시 묶고 뛰면 돼" (tie your untied shoelaces and start running again) shows that despite the setbacks and heartache, one must continue to move forward and try to find happiness again.
Overall, "Good Bye Bye" reflects the universal struggle of coping with a difficult breakup and the pain of having to say goodbye to someone once loved. However, the song also offers hope for healing and moving on, reminding us that life goes on and the future is full of opportunities for happiness.

차가워진 눈물과 표정
My tears have turned cold, and so has my expression
난 너에게서 왜 헤매는지 (헤매는지) 알지 못했어
I didn't know why I was lost in you
풀리지도 않을 맘에 상처만 남기고
Leaving only scars on my heart that won't heal
그럴 때면 내게 말해 이 추억만은 남겨줘
When those times come, please leave me with only these memories
사라진 innocence
Gone innocence
나만을 밝혀 주던 빛은 너인데
The light that used to shine only for me was you
시간의 덫에 또 속아 머물 순 없어 Hey good bye baby, good bye baby
I can't stay trapped by time again, so goodbye baby, goodbye baby
너 없이 매일 눈감아도 이젠 그만 Good bye baby good bye baby
Even if I close my eyes every day without you, now it's time to say goodbye baby, goodbye baby
니 손 다신 못 잡는대도 끝없는 터널 속을 거닌대도 이겨낼 수 있어 And let me say Good bye baby good bye baby
Even though I'll never hold your hand again, and even though I'm in an endless tunnel, I can overcome it. And let me say goodbye baby, goodbye baby
난 너 없이도 살 수 있어
I can live without you
죽지 못해 산다는 게 내일에 내 모습일까 봐 걱정이 돼
I worry that living without dying means I'll be like this tomorrow
기나긴 삶의 하루 중간 어디쯤에는 널 잊을 곳은 있을거야 확신해 늘
In the middle of a long day of life, I'm always sure there will be a place where I can forget you
아주 가끔은 우릴 돌아봐 노력은 생각보다 내게 솔직하니까
Sometimes look back at us; effort is an honest thing for me
어제는 잊고 또 일어서면 돼 풀린 신발끈 다시 묶고 뛰면 돼
Forget yesterday and get up again; just lace up your untied shoes and run
낡은 일기장에 적힌 우리처럼 길을 잃고서 더 이상 살 수 없어 (살 수 없어)
Just like us in an old diary, lost, unable to live anymore
내 눈물이 땅에 닿는 모습 보일 수 없어 난 계속 tic tic tac
I'll never show the sight of my tears hitting the ground; I just hear tic tic tac
나의 두 눈이 너의 입술이 다시 만날 땐 우린 빛이 날 거야 hey
When my eyes meet your lips again, we'll shine like light
이젠 괜찮아 without you
Now it's okay without you

Because despite everything NU'EST is and will be an iconic group in the kpop industry, even if they are no longer together, I will support their career separately.
