A global boys group NEXZ born from the Japan-Korea joint audition project "Nizi Project Season 2" by Sony Music and JYP. Despite being pre-debut, they announced a large-scale project with the daily hydration drink "Aquarius," surprising the public with unexpected news. From them, a new content "NEXZ | AQUARIUS #1" has arrived on the YouTube Channel "Advancing People Channel" to support people who want to advance themselves. Aquarius is a daily hydration drink that quickly replenishes the water and minerals needed for the body after sweating, supporting people who work hard every day. The slogan of Aquarius is "By the side of advancing people." NEXZ, who has continued to embody that message in "Nizi Project Season 2," was chosen as a symbol to further boost communication that supports the feelings of young people who want to be proud of themselves. In "NEXZ | AQUARIUS #1 'Each "Advancing Person"' [Advancing People Channel]" released today, the younger members Ken, Seita, Yuhi, and Yuuki are answering interviews. Ken answered "people who challenge new things" to the question "What do you think is an "advancing person"?" Seita revealed "people who can continue to run forward" and Yuhi said "people who work hard patiently," while Yuuki conveyed "people who always have a positive way of thinking." They also talk about "what it takes to be an advancing person," "the reason to keep advancing," and "what they aim for after advancing." It became an interview that conveys a solid will and determination that they learned by overcoming many trials in the audition project "Nizi Project Season 2." The content is impressive and will resonate with those who want to challenge something in the future, as well as with "advancing people" who are working positively. In the future, "Advancing People Channel" will sequentially release content introducing NEXZ's real appearance and inner thoughts that can only be seen here. NEXZ continues to steadily prepare for their debut, pursuing an ideal image worthy of the name "global boys group" today. ■ Related Links NEXZ Official Site Aquarius Special Site
