Band QWER (Chodan, Magenta, Hina and Siyeon) released a special clip for 'Shonen Manga', the title track of its special single 'Shonen Manga & Picaresque', on its official YouTube channel on the 27th. In the video, the members wear school-uniform-style preppy outfits and give an upbeat band performance on an outdoor stage against an open sky. 'Shonen Manga' expands its scale by adding orchestral playing to a powerful band sound, and a choir chorus joins in the latter part to create a moving atmosphere. The song expresses the determination to keep moving toward one's dreams even when reality isn't as bright as hoped, offering comfort and empathy to young people chasing their dreams. QWER kicked off its second tour, 'QWER 2nd TOUR 'ROCKATION : ROCKET LAUNCH!!'', in Seoul on the 12th and 13th, and will meet global fans at shows in Taipei on October 10–11. Since debuting in October 2023, QWER has released songs including 'Discord', 'My Name is Malguem' and 'T.B.H', and its fourth mini album 'CEREMONY', released in April, sold 117,303 copies in its first week according to Hanteo Chart, setting a new first-week record for the group.
