Global boy group “NEXZ”’s first solo reality show “Debut Preparation Class ” has finally reached its climax! ! In the final episode, the members have a touching reunion with their families in Japan…! ?

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.

On May 1st, it was announced that NEXZ’s “global debut”, which the world had been eagerly awaiting, would be on May 20th (Monday).

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 nationwide broadcast of the “Stage” edition has also begun.

By the way, from April of this year, NEXZ’s first independent reality program “Debut Preparation Class ” produced by Mnet will be broadcast and distributed (in Japan, it will be broadcast exclusively and at the fastest rate with Japanese subtitles on Lemino every Sunday at 0:00. ), and the precious debut preparation period was regularly delivered to viewers.

This program has been deeply loved by fans for its rich content, starting with a “mock” press conference, a poster shoot using difficult items as props, a first prank, a Korean showdown, and many other missions.

In the fourth episode, Stray Kids Rino and Changbin make a surprise appearance and teach them how to “respond to sudden situations” that they have actually experienced as senior members of JYP.

The final episode of “Debut Preparation Class ” will be released with Japanese subtitles on May 19th (Sunday), the night before the “global debut”.

Early one morning, NEXZ members gathered at the airport without knowing anything.

The card he received there had a final mission written on it: “Visit my family in Japan.”

The members cannot hide their joy and surprise at the sudden turn of events, but their families do not know that they are going to Japan.

How will he be reunited with his family?

Then, it was time for the climax of the program, the “ Dissolution Ceremony”.

Please check out the final episode on the video distribution service “Lemino(R)” from 12:00 AM on Sunday, May 19th.

Lemino says that episodes 1 and 2 will be free, and the 6th and final episode will be available for free for only one week from the start of distribution.

There are only four days left until NEXZ’s “global debut.”

The night before their debut, watch the “Debut Preparation Class ” and prepare mentally for their “global debut” with the members.

The name “N” and “Z” signify that the group was born from the “Nizi Project,” and it conveys the message that the members who will lead the next generation will come together, deliver new music and performance, and usher in a new era.

In announcing the group’s name, JY Park told the members, “We named the group with the hope that we will carve out a future together with the new generation.”

On December 18, 2023, “Miracle” written and composed by JY Park, which was performed at the final stage of the audition, will be distributed as a pre-release song.

[What is “Nizi Project”]

A Japan-Korea joint 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.
