Tomoya and Yuu from NEXZ participated in a new project called 'HIGHLIGHT' by the YouTube channel 'THE FIRST TAKE', which is known for various artists performing in a single take. Tomoya performed NEXZ's new song 'Beat-Boxer', while Yuu showcased Stray Kids' 'Walkin On Water (HIP Ver.)' in solo dance performances that were specially released. Based on the statement 'I want to highlight more music', the video captures their overwhelming charm from close angles, focusing on delicate movements of their fingers and feet, and the trembling moments of their muscles. In particular, their elevated breathing and the sound of their shoe soles highlight the real sense of presence and tension at the scene. It is not an exaggeration to say that Tomoya's confident dance, which intersects sharpness and composure, is the driving force behind 'Beat-Boxer', which has now surpassed 40 million views on YouTube, proving NEXZ's rising popularity. On the other hand, Yuu used his specialty in breaking to add acrobatic flair to the song of his seniors, Stray Kids, enhancing the performance. Both performances are guaranteed to captivate anyone with their different approaches. At the same time, Haru and Huey appeared in the February issue of the fashion magazine 'GINZA' (released on January 13). Last year, Tomoya, Sogon, Yuu, and Seita gained attention by appearing in units, but this time, Haru and Huey fully showcased their fashionista sides. In 2026, NEXZ's activities are expanding further. They will hold a solo concert as part of the special concert 'NEXZ SPECIAL CONCERT <ONE BEAT>' in Taipei on January 3 and in Macau on January 17 (Saturday) and 18 (Sunday), marking a powerful start to the new year. NEXZ, known as the 'next-generation performance powerhouse' based on their solid stage skills, is attracting attention for their trends and activities in 2026.
