NEXZ released its 4th mini album, SAUCIN', a six-song set led by a fiery title track and boosted by member songwriting.

On Monday, August 24, NEXZ released their 4th mini album, "SAUCIN'," their sixth release in Korea. The album title is an expression combining the English word "SAUCE" and the present progressive ending "-ING," and it means NEXZ's "present progressive" of adding their own kind of "sauce" to any place and delivering special charm. This work is packed with NEXZ's unique free energy, confidence, and the path of their growth. All six songs, each full of individuality, let listeners fully enjoy NEXZ's broader and more refined musical spectrum. Centered on the title track "SAUCIN'," it presents NEXZ's vivid and dynamic musical color, and based on an sensuous electronic sound, it blends in the "secret ingredient" of challenges to various genres. The album begins with the first track, "LOCO," which gives a刺激 that tickles the taste buds from the very first bite with a powerful hook. Whether you choose "LOCO," the title track "SAUCIN'," "APPETITE," "UPGRADE," "20 NOW," or "ALIENS," you will be captivated by NEXZ's rhythm, and if you lightly dip in out of curiosity, before you know it you can become deeply immersed in the charm of "SAUCIN'." Moreover, NEXZ actively participated in song production themselves and poured in their passion. TOMOYA, HARU, and HYUI participated in the lyrics and composition of the third track, "APPETITE," and TOMOYA is also credited on the fifth track, "20 NOW." Since their debut, they have demonstrated their talent by participating in the production of many songs, and on this work as well they further enhanced NEXZ's musical individuality and increased the album's completeness like a stimulating "sauce." As with the unique album title, they mix diverse abilities and limitless possibilities to express them, and while spreading them around the world, they will deliver a new flavor to every place where music reaches. In particular, the featured "special sauce" of this work, the title track "SAUCIN'," is a song packed with the hot passion of midsummer's sun. Its refreshing running beat and festival-like energy stand out, and its light, addictive melody naturally makes you want to move your body. Comparing NEXZ to a "sauce" that turns any dish into a special dish, through lyrics such as "A stimulating kick, your favorite, you will come to want me again" and "I will captivate your tongue," it expresses their unique charm that cannot be stopped once tasted. And the music video for "SAUCIN'" was also unveiled together with the release. After a grand operation to share the "legendary all-purpose sauce" with everyone, it depicts a refreshing story in which they scatter that sauce throughout the festival venue, and their performance and shining visuals, worthy of a "famous next-generation performance restaurant," captivate people's five senses. In Japan, the package release of the 4th mini album "SAUCIN'" is on Friday, September 4, but all songs are already available on music distribution stores. In Korea, all six songs immediately swept Bugs' real-time chart, taking positions 1 through 6, showing signs of a hit. Their breakthrough, in which they continue to show limitless growth by repeating endless combinations and challenges, continues on stage as well. In July, they successfully finished the global showcase event "NEXZ GLOBAL SHOWCASE EVENT," and in August they drew attention by surprise-premiering the new song "SAUCIN'" at "KCON LA 2026." In September, they will also appear at Brazil's largest music festival, "Rock in Rio," and at the new festival "STRAYCITY," held in three Latin American cities, and will heat up stages around the world with their overwhelming performance ability. In the hot summer, NEXZ's special "SAUCIN'" festival is opening, stirring up music fans' appetite for music with pleasant stimulation.
