With their unstoppable momentum, they held a press conference for their Japan debut on June 14th at Tokyo Tower.

After a photo session, the 7 members introduced themselves, starting with YU, who is considered the group's "motherly" figure. HARU is good at various expressions, SO GEON's charm point is his mole like a chocolate chip, TOMOYA is the leader and will do his best, YUKI loves fried food and is the youngest, HYUI's charm point is his bright smile, and SEITA's charm point is the mole near his eye. They explained that the fan name "NEX2Y" means "NEXT 2 (to) YOU," symbolizing that NEXZ and NEX2Y will always be close to each other. They expressed their dreams of holding a solo concert at the National Stadium in the future. They also revealed the tracklist for their Japan 1st EP, including the Japanese version of "Ride the Vibe" and "Keep on Moving." The EP will be available in various versions with unique visuals and special bonuses. The members showed their personalities at the press conference and a special Spotify talk event.
