The global boy group “NEXZ” was born from the Japan-Korea joint audition project “Nizi Project Season 2” by JYP and Sony Music.
“Miracle” written and composed by JY Park, which was performed at the final stage of the audition on December 18th last year, will be distributed as a pre-release song, and it will be ranked in the Oricon Daily Digital Single (single song) ranking as of December 18th, as well as on iTunes, LINE, etc. It reached number 1 on music distribution sites such as MUSIC, AWA, mu-mo, and Rakuten Music, and even reached number 1 in the “K-POP” genre on iTunes with “Miracle (Korean Ver.),” which was distributed at the same time as both Japanese and Korean songs. Achieved the feat of 1st place.
Additionally, the “Miracle” Performance Video, which was released at the same time as the song distribution, has been viewed over 10 million times on YouTube in just 6 days, and has already exceeded 17 million views.
Moreover, it is still fresh in my memory that even before their debut, they announced a large-scale project with the daily hydration drink “Aquarius”, surprising the public with a topic that is not typical of a new artist.
From April of this year, NEXZ’s first independent reality program “Debut Preparation Class
On May 13th, “Aquarius”‘s new commercial “Next to those who move” attracted attention with its first NEXZ appearance and the new song “Keep on Moving” written and produced by J.Y. Park. The national broadcast of “Stage” version has also started.
Finally, today, May 20th (Monday), the day of the “global debut” that the world has been eagerly waiting for has arrived.
NEXZ’s first Korean release, “Ride the Vibe,” which made its global debut, is a product packed with NEXZ’s sensuous identity.
The concept of the album is “the strong emotions we feel for the first time, and those of us who jumped into the waves of those emotions.” The album has the same name as the lead track (Ride the Vibe), and focuses on their unique atmosphere (Vibe). It is composed of songs.
The lead track “Ride the Vibe” is a NEXZ original “Easy-Experimental” song that combines Abstract Hip-Hop rhythm with Electronica elements, and is a Lo-Fi and retro analog synthesizer. The harmonious sound of the digital synthesizer creates a sensuous yet experimental atmosphere.
The key point is the track structure that changes in various ways within the song, and amid the waves of emotions such as excitement, anxiety, and excitement that can only be felt because it is your first time, the message is “Let’s ride this vibe with me as you are attracted.” Included.
On the other hand, the coupling song “Starlight” is an R&B song with a refreshing and sophisticated atmosphere that emphasizes the pizzicato sound of the double bass, and likens the feeling of encountering a new dream to a “star-filled night.” A song with impressive metaphorical lyrics.
Especially in the Outro, you can feel the lyrical vocalization of the NEXZ members on a simple track centered on piano.
Both “Ride the Vibe” and “Starlight” are already available on various music distribution sites, so please take this opportunity to check them out.
What’s more, on Spotify, the members’ voice messages seem to be previewing “something that will happen” on the playlist that was just released.
What exactly awaits us?
And now, the long-awaited MV for “Ride the Vibe” has arrived from NEXZ, who just made their “global debut” with the Korean release “Ride the Vibe.”
This work aims to boost the worldview of the song, and this time it was filmed on location overseas.
The music video was created with the image of “facing the “first time” that everyone experienced when they were young” and “the purity of expressing contradictory emotions as they are.”
A seven-member group in the midst of adolescence who tend to act mischievous when they get together.
Guided by their initial impulses, they sometimes want to play in slightly dangerous ways.
Even when faced with critical and difficult situations, we somehow end up laughing together.
As reflected in the choreography, the song uses the vibe of “Ride the Vibe” to visualize the “fluctuations of the heart” that are unique to adolescent boys.
The content is synchronized with a visual world that is just like a short film, and allows you to enjoy the “blueness” of youth.
Please enjoy this work to the fullest, which is a crossover between the youth group drama and unique performances that can only be expressed by NEXZ, whose average age is 17.4 years old.
The “trajectory” that they walked in “Nizi Project Season 2” and the “miracle” that they created as they took on the challenge of their lives.
The seven members made their dream come true by making their long-awaited “global debut” as the first boy group in six years since JYP’s Stray Kids.
However, I’m sure the dreams they envision will grow even bigger and sparkle even more.
The future of NEXZ is bright and bright.

[What is “Nizi Project”]
A joint Japanese-Korean audition project by JYP and Sony Music.
In this project, JYP and Sony Music will jointly handle everything from holding global auditions to member casting, training, planning, production, and management.
In “Nizi Project Season 1”, she participated in “NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen” for 4 consecutive years, won the “Japan Record Award” for 3 consecutive years, and became the “fastest female artist in history” to perform at two major domes, Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome. NiziU made their long-awaited Korean debut on October 30, 2023, and became a national girl group in both name and reality, garnering a lot of attention when they won first place on a local music show.
Taking advantage of that track record, this “Nizi Project Season 2” aims to create a global boy group, and will be held in eight cities in Japan, Los Angeles, New York, and Seoul in South Korea, from mid-March to early May 2022. Regional auditions were held at a total of 11 locations, with over 10,000 applicants participating.
After going through the process of regional auditions ⇒ Japan training camp ⇒ Korean training camp, the global boy group “NEXZ” was born.
