“NEXZ” is a global boy band born from the Japan-Korea joint audition project “Nizi Project Season 2” by JYP and Sony Music.
On December 18th of last year, the song “Miracle”, written and composed by JY Park and performed at the final stage of the audition, was released as a pre-release song and reached number one on the Oricon Daily Digital Single (single song) rankings dated December 18th, as well as on various music distribution sites such as iTunes, LINE MUSIC, AWA, mu-mo, and Rakuten Music. Furthermore, “Miracle (Korean Ver.)”, which was released at the same time on iTunes, also topped the “K-POP” genre, achieving the remarkable feat of reaching number one for both Japanese and Korean songs.
In addition, the performance video for “Miracle,” which was released at the same time as the song, surpassed 10 million views on YouTube within six days of its release, and has currently been viewed over 17 million times.
Even before her debut, she surprised the world with a major project with daily hydration drink “Aquarius,” a topic that was unusual for a new artist.
Starting in April of this year, NEXZ’s first solo reality show “Debut Preparation Class
On May 13th, the new Aquarius commercial “Beside those who move forward. Stage” will begin airing nationwide. The commercial is the first to feature NEXZ and features the new song “Keep on Moving” written and produced by J.Y. Park.
Finally, on May 20th, they made their long-awaited global debut.
After that, he appeared daily on popular Korean music programs such as “M COUNTDOWN,” “MUSIC BANK,” “Show! Music Core,” and “Inkigayo.”
On the Korean HANTEO charts, NEXZ’s first Korean release, “Ride the Vibe,” did very well, ranking third on the weekly Physical Album Chart.
NEXZ has been busy with activities, including “SHOW CHAMPION” which will be broadcast on Wednesday, May 29th, and has a number of music program appearances this week.
Meanwhile, the performance video for their debut song “Ride the Vibe” has been released, and the music video has already surpassed 16 million views on YouTube, creating a lot of buzz.
The music video for “Ride the Vibe” is a youth ensemble drama that only NEXZ, whose average age is 17.4 years old, could express. The emotional visual world that is reminiscent of a short film has been a hot topic, but at the same time, attention is also focused on the unique performance.
With the band appearing on music shows, attention was being drawn even more to the performance of “Ride the Vibe,” and the performance video was released at an opportune time.
Be sure to watch this soulful performance, which expresses the emotional fluctuations unique to adolescent boys, riding on the vibes of “Ride the Vibe,” in great detail over and over again.
NEXZ is JYP’s first boy band in about six years since Stray Kids, and they have made their long-awaited global debut, and are off to an incredible start.
Riding this tailwind, the day is fast approaching when they will take flight out into the world.

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.
