On the 9th, Do-ha, Hyun-min, and Rioto of the group Ark appeared on SBS Power FM's 'Escape from Two O'Clock Cultwo Show' (hereafter 'Cultwo Show'). Ark is continuing its rise in popularity with the new song 'nu kidz.'
Ark introduced 'nu kidz' as a song that showcases the hip-hop sound that was popular in the early 2000s, expressed in Ark's own style. The genre is 'triton pop' based on a Triton synthesizer BASS. When asked about his feelings on their first comeback since debut, Do-ha said, "Debut is one thing, and first comeback felt different in its own way." Regarding changes since their debut, Rioto stated, "The debut song and comeback song feel different. We have tried to chill our performance as well. Please look forward to the stage."
Next, Ark chose EXO's 'Love Me Right' as a song that is good to play during a self-fashion show in front of the mirror. Hyun-min, who has appeared in full force at the 2025 F/W Seoul Fashion Week, remarked, "I was nervous since it was my first time, but I learned a lot." When asked about the differences between Korean and Japanese fashion, Rioto responded, "These days, I think they are becoming similar. If there is a big difference, it is that Japanese people don’t wear long padding." He humorously added, "I wear long padding to survive because it's cold."
Ark also selected Yoon Jong-shin's 'Like It' as a song that friends must sing when they go to karaoke. When pressed with, "Isn't this the suggestion of producer Yoon Jong-shin?" they responded, "Absolutely not. It was our genuine first choice," while Hyun-min quipped back, "Is it guaranteed that our safety will be ensured if we say this?" showcasing their sense of humor.
