NEXZ opened its first Asia tour with a sold-out Seoul concert, showcasing powerful performances and announcing Japan and Asia tour dates.

On October 17 and 18, NEXZ held the Seoul performance at Olympic Hall, which marked the opening of their first Asia tour, "NEXZ 1ST ASIA TOUR," and it became a huge success. Based on their outstanding dance ability, NEXZ, who has established their position as "the next-generation performance powerhouse" by presenting highly polished group choreography, led the concert with stage command and energy worthy of their reputation. Starting with "Mmchk," which drew the audience in at once with rhythmic movements, they successively performed title tracks from their released works, including "NALLINA" and "O-RLY?," leaving a strong impression from the beginning. Even amid swirling beats and complex movements, their perfectly synchronized formations and flawless performances brought a thrilling pleasure to the seats. Their stages, which handled a wide range of genres—from energetic and intense choreography to groovy and delicate expression, and even fresh and sporty moods—heightened the audience's immersion. The section that continued with "BURNING BLACK," "HARD," "Hellmate," and "UPGRADE" was a parade of powerful dance that raised the heat in the venue to its peak, and in the parts for "ALIENS," "Ride the Vibe," and "Starlight," they delivered a different kind of charm with freshness and the brilliance of youth. They also showed performances that made full use of each song's appeal, such as "SAUCIN'," "APPETITE," and "LOCO," which were arranged with an EDM sound to excite the crowd, and "I'm Him" and "Simmer," which were glamorous yet relaxed with smooth changes in intensity. While their activities for the latest work "SAUCIN'" and their appearance at the huge Latin American music festivals "STRAYCITY" and "Rock in Rio 2026" made their further growth and composure clearly felt, the "7 people, 7 colors" solo performances, in which each of the seven members' individuality shone, further increased the enjoyment of watching, and the audience went wild. From YU appearing on stage before "One Bite (Korean Ver.)," to SEITA in "Want More? One More!," HYUI in the intro of "Hands up, Yo!," SO GEON in "Co-Star," YUKI in "Next Zeneration," HARU in "Legacy," and TOMOYA in "Beat-Boxer," each member's individuality stood out in solo performances featuring high-difficulty acrobatics, rap, dance breaks, and more, which drew an enthusiastic response. Because every performance was delivered with unwavering passion, the venue was filled with loud cheers. As if responding to that, NEXZ went to NEX2Y (the name of their fans) and, while singing "20 NOW," "Run With Me," "HYPEMAN," "Eye to Eye," and "Keep on Moving (Korean Ver.)," they made eye contact with each person, waved, and greeted them. Finally, in MC remarks, they said, "We sincerely thank NEX2Y for taking precious time to fill the seats. We were truly happy to hear that more people would come to Olympic Hall, where we returned after one year! We prepared hard with the members because we wanted to show the best possible stage. Seeing you watch us with loving expressions made us even happier. We were happy to deeply feel NEX2Y's love at today's concert, and we wanted to stay with NEX2Y forever. Thank you again for leaving us with wonderful memories. We plan to go to even more places on the Asia tour in the future, so please look forward to it!" and then performed the fan song "Next To Me," in which the members themselves wrote down in lyrics the excitement of spending moments with NEX2Y. They delivered their honest feelings on top of the melody. Amid unreserved cheers, NEXZ, after ending the Korean performance in great success, released a big topic in rapid succession. The long-awaited schedule for performances across Asia, including the Japan performances of the Asia tour "NEXZ 1ST ASIA TOUR," was revealed. The Japan performances will be an arena tour in the Tokyo-Osaka-Nagoya area: Kobe World Memorial Hall in Hyogo on Saturday, January 16 and Sunday, January 17, 2027; Port Messe Nagoya Hall 1 in Aichi on Saturday, January 23 and Sunday, January 24; and Keio Arena TOKYO in Tokyo on Saturday, January 30 and Sunday, January 31. After that, they will travel through Asian countries, with Hong Kong on Sunday, February 14, 2027; Taipei on Saturday, February 20; Singapore on Saturday, April 24; and Malaysia on Saturday, May 29. The official fan club's earliest ticket pre-sale for the Japan performances has already begun. Although NEXZ's global activities are accelerating, they also have events in Japan scheduled, including "Livejack 2026 SMASH BEAT SP" at Osaka-Jo Hall on Saturday, October 31, and "Buzz Rhythm LIVE 2026" at Yokohama Arena on Saturday, November 7. In the future, there still seem to be many opportunities to see their activities in Japan, so keep an eye on their movements. Also pay attention to the Japan performances of the Asia tour "NEXZ 1ST ASIA TOUR" in January next year. As the title of the Asia tour suggests, which carries the meaning of captivating the world with NEXZ's music and color, expectations are rising even more for their dazzling future activities as they continue to color the world with their own unique hues. ■Performance information "NEXZ 1ST ASIA TOUR IN JAPAN" <Schedule / Venues> Saturday, January 16, 2027: Kobe World Memorial Hall, Hyogo Prefecture Open 16:00 / Start 17:00 Sunday, January 17, 2027: Kobe World Memorial Hall, Hyogo Prefecture Open 15:00 / Start 16:00 Saturday, January 23, 2027: Port Messe Nagoya Hall 1, Aichi Prefecture Open 16:00 / Start 17:00 Sunday, January 24, 2027: Port Messe Nagoya Hall 1, Aichi Prefecture Open 15:00 / Start 16:00 Saturday, January 30, 2027: Keio Arena TOKYO, Tokyo Open 16:00 / Start 17:00 Sunday, January 31, 2027: Keio Arena TOKYO, Tokyo Open 15:00 / Start 16:00 <Ticket price> All seats reserved: 13,200 yen (tax included) *Children under 4 years old may not enter; from age 4, a separate ticket is required. ■Related sites "NEXZ 1ST ASIA TOUR IN JAPAN" special site NEXZ official site ■Performance information "NEXZ 1ST ASIA TOUR IN JAPAN" <Schedule / Venues> Saturday, January 16, 2027: Kobe World Memorial Hall, Hyogo Prefecture Open 16:00 / Start 17:00 Sunday, January 17, 2027: Kobe World Memorial Hall, Hyogo Prefecture Open 15:00 / Start 16:00 Saturday, January 23, 2027: Port Messe Nagoya Hall 1, Aichi Prefecture Open 16:00 / Start 17:00 Sunday, January 24, 2027: Port Messe Nagoya Hall 1, Aichi Prefecture Open 15:00 / Start 16:00 Saturday, January 30, 2027: Keio Arena TOKYO, Tokyo Open 16:00 / Start 17:00 Sunday, January 31, 2027: Keio Arena TOKYO, Tokyo Open 15:00 / Start 16:00 <Ticket price> All seats reserved: 13,200 yen (tax included) *Children under 4 years old may not enter; from age 4, a separate ticket is required. ■Related sites "NEXZ 1ST ASIA TOUR IN JAPAN" special site NEXZ official site
