K-pop male group NU'EST had its first music show win on Wednesday ― after seven years.
It ranked No.1 on “Show Champion” that airs on cable network MBC Music with its new song “BET BET.”
“We thank all our fans for making our dream come true,” group member JR said as they received the award.
NU'EST released its comeback album “Happily Ever After” with “BET BET” as its title song on April 29, the first in three years with all five members ― JR, Aron, Baekho, Ren and Minhyun ― participating.
The song's music video drew 10 million views on YouTube only a week after it was posted.
The group debuted in 2012 with “FACE.” It gained popularity after its members, except Aron, appeared on the 2017 K-pop survival show "Produce 101."
