[What is “Nizi Project”]
A Japan-Korea joint 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.
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.
