Screenshot of the video by CBC News ; the boys performing to ‘HELLO’

Just on the 19th, NU'EST W appeared at Park Concert alongside labelmates Raina (After School/Orange Caramel) and Pristin and performed to a series of their hit tracks. From their latest release 'If You', they also took a quick trip down the memory lane with 'HELLO' (a song that Baekho did not forget to express his surprise and thanks at seeing it rise back on the real-time charts), 'Good Bye Bye', 'OVERCOME' and 'Love Paint'. Aron also turned up for his featuring for sunbae Raina's latest comeback, 'Loop'.

The boys seemed overwhelmed upon receiving tremendous support at the event; at one point, Baekho commented, "the cheers were so loud that I couldn't hear my in-ears well, so I don't know how well I sang. Was it alright?", to which the fans immediately assured him. NU'EST W also shared that they were a little nervous since it's been a while for them to perform in such a setting, but seeing the strong support from the crowd that day gave them strength.

In return for the loud cheers, NU'EST W also showcase some aegyo as fanservice, including Aron's famous 'oppa and i' (along with parodies of 'Turtle and I' by JR and 'Rabbit and I' by Ren), and 'I have you saved in my heart'.

As the performance came to an end, the group did not forget to share their gratitude and thanks to the fans. Aron said, "actually I'm really taken aback because I didn't expect so many (fans) to come. Thank you all for coming. I think I'm really touched (by all the support) today." Ren also sweet added that he wished that he could hug each and every one of the fans. “I can't think of anything else to say except that I feel really happy,” Baekho stated, before sharing that they're preparing for their next album. Leader JR ended off by stating that it was a good day spent with the fans, and even teased fans to dream of them that night.

Even when the show came to an end, fans were reluctant to let them go, chanting ‘encore, encore’ loudly. Flustered, the boys explained that did not prepare any music for encore stages, so Baekho ended up singing a short part of 'Look' as an added bonus before leaving the stage, officially closing their stage for the night.

Along with the rush of crowds, we also see a rise of many new fansites, tallying to over 100 being at the scene to share their photos and videos with fellow peers who were unable to make it on-site.

NU'EST W weren't the only ones being spotlighted last night. L.O.V.Es also made it to a hot discussion among various online communities for their polite behavior and manners, with photos surfacing of how they made sure to cleaned up the area when they left, and also paved a way for the boys and other visitors to move through without hassle during arrival and departure.

For those who wish to review the performance, CBC News have uploaded a full clip over here.

Good news, good news and more good news! Despite 'If You' not being a promotional single, NU'EST W will grace the stage on this week's Mnet M!countdown (17 Aug) to perform 'If You' and 'Hello'.
