NEXZ achieved the "global debut" that the world has been eagerly awaiting on May 20th, and their first Korean release "Ride the Vibe" topped the HANTEO chart in Korea, ranking 1st on the Physical Album Chart daily and 3rd weekly. The music video for their debut song "Ride the Vibe" is a youthful ensemble drama that can only be expressed by them, with an average age of 17.4, creating a "emo" visual world that has garnered a lot of attention. The video has surpassed 10 million views on YouTube in just 3 days and has now exceeded 31 million views. With their unstoppable momentum, they held a press conference for their Japan debut on June 14th at Tokyo Tower. HYUI stated, "I want to become a big presence loved by people all over the world like Tokyo Tower," which is why they selected Tokyo Tower as the venue for the press conference. Many media outlets gathered at "Club333" on the main deck of Tokyo Tower, showing the high expectations for NEXZ. Despite their nervousness, the members confidently took the stage. 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. The talk event was live-streamed on YouTube and later made available as an archive due to popular demand. NEXZ's Japan debut is scheduled for August 21st with the release of their EP. They are determined to make a mark in the music scene.
