The newly established agency Noua Entertainment is establishing itself as a rising powerhouse in K-pop. On the 25th, during the final live broadcast of Mnet's "Boys 2 Planet," trainees Jo Wansin and Jang Jiahao from Noua Entertainment joined the final debut lineup of eight members. They are set to connect with K-pop fans worldwide as the project group ALPHADRIVEONE.
Trainee Jung Hyunjun, who also competed on "Boys 2 Planet" alongside Jo Wansin and Jang Jiahao, did not make the final debut lineup but gained attention for his outstanding talent and charm. The three trainees from Noua Entertainment demonstrated overwhelming presence from their first appearance, earning an "All-Star" rating.
Noua Entertainment's group NouerA is also engaged in special activities alongside global group NovA. Even before their debut, they earned the title "Billboard Rookie," and later acquired nicknames such as "Performance Hotspot" and "Stage Masters." They are recognized as next-generation K-pop leaders with their unique musical style and performances.
Jo Wansin maintained a top-tier ranking throughout the "Boys 2 Planet" broadcast, winning the hearts of star creators with his dazzling visuals and exceptional skills. He finished in second place, proving the support of his global fandom. Jo Wansin received praise as a "complete idol" by delivering flawless performances and unwavering vocal skills on every stage. On the final stage, he flawlessly executed the killing parts, demonstrating strong determination for debut and limitless potential.
Jang Jiahao, who ranked fifth overall, also maintained an All-Star rating from the early stages of the program, earning recognition for his skills. He showcased his all-around abilities as an "all-rounder" with attractive visuals, powerful dance, and stable vocal skills. In the final competition song "Brat Attitude," he took on the killing parts and displayed overwhelming stage charisma.
Although Jung Hyunjun narrowly missed debuting, he firmly proved his charm and value through "Boys 2 Planet." He attracted attention as a trainee combining talent and star quality by delivering impressive performances in every round. Through his agency, Jung Hyunjun expressed, "I can't believe I have received so much love; it feels like a great gift. To repay that feeling, I will strive to become a deeper person and grow into a better version of myself."
The achievements shown by Noua Entertainment's trainees are regarded as the result of a systematic artist development system. All participating trainees demonstrated strong presence throughout the program with their unique personalities and skills, writing an impressive growth story. Despite being a new agency, by producing two debut members, Noua Entertainment has established itself as a "trusted rookie hotspot" among industry insiders and K-pop fans.
A representative of Noua Entertainment said, "We thank the fans who have given endless love and support to our trainees. We ask for continued interest and encouragement for Jo Wansin and Jang Jiahao, who will make new history in K-pop as members of ALPHADRIVEONE, as well as for Jung Hyunjun, who, although he did not achieve his dream of debuting, showed infinite potential."
Noua Entertainment is also accelerating its expansion in the actor division. It represents skilled actors who have stood out in dramas and films, including Park Hae-il, Soo Ae, Song Saebyeok, Baek Hyunjin, Kim Hyungmook, and Jang Heejin, and is actively scouting new talent. The company is preparing to leap forward as a comprehensive entertainment company covering not only music but also acting, variety shows, and video content production. This aligns with the company's strategy to simultaneously strengthen artist management and IP business.
