“Debut Preparation Class
In the long-awaited first episode, the members are taken to a venue without being told anything, where a large door appears in front of them, and when it opens, they find a large number of reporters waiting for them…
NEXZ’s first ever “mock” press conference was suddenly held.
Although confused by the barrage of unexpected questions from the reporters, the members worked together and did their best to answer them.
Will they be able to complete the press conference safely?
From the second episode onwards, the group will be shown their precious debut preparation period through unexpected and surprising missions and developments.
Not only can you see the members’ fresh reactions when faced with unpredictable situations, but the honest and diverse charms of each of the seven members are also on full display.
Lemino plans to release additional episodes every Sunday at midnight, with episodes 1 and 2 being free, and episodes 3 and beyond being free for one week only after each episode’s release.
NEXZ is now in the final preparations for its debut.

What is “Nizi Project”?
A joint Japanese-Korean audition project by JYP and Sony Music.
For this project, JYP and Sony Music will jointly handle everything from holding global auditions to casting the members, training, planning, production, and management.
“Nizi Project Season 1” produced NiziU, who appeared on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen for four consecutive years, won the Japan Record Award for three consecutive years, and performed at the two major domes, Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome, the fastest in history for a female artist.On October 30, 2023, they made their long-awaited Korean debut, winning first place on a local music program and attracting a lot of attention, becoming a national girl group in both name and reality.
Leveraging this track record, “Nizi Project Season 2” aims to create a global boy group. Regional auditions were held in 11 locations, including eight cities in Japan, Los Angeles, New York, and Seoul, South Korea, from mid-March to early May 2022, with more than 10,000 applicants participating.
After going through a process of regional auditions ⇒ training camp in Japan ⇒ training camp in Korea, the global boy band “NEXZ” was born.
