NEXZ's 1st mini-album "NALLINA," released in Korea, is gaining popularity. NEXZ is a global boy group born from the Japan-Korea joint audition project "Nizi Project Season 2" by JYP and Sony Music. On May 20, they achieved their long-awaited global debut, and their first Korean release, "Ride the Vibe," topped the Physical Album Chart daily and reached 3rd weekly on the HANTEO chart. In June, they boldly declared their Japanese debut at a press conference held at Tokyo Tower, a landmark in Japan, expressing their desire to aim high. In July, they performed energetically at the opening show of the "Meiji Yasuda J-League World Challenge 2024 powered by docomo" match between Vissel Kobe and Tottenham Hotspur, attracting 54,000 people at the National Stadium. On August 21, they finally made their long-awaited Japanese debut with the Japan 1st EP "Ride the Vibe (Japanese Ver.) / Keep on Moving," which topped the Oricon daily album ranking. Their first showcase tour in Japan, "NEXZ SHOWCASE 2024 'Ride the Vibe,'" sold out all six performances across three cities, drawing 40,000 attendees. Recently, on November 18, NEXZ released their 1st mini-album "NALLINA" in Korea. On the same day, the music video for the title track "NALLINA" was released, attracting attention. Just four days after its release, the MV surpassed 10 million views on YouTube. Social media buzzed with enthusiastic posts like "It's so addictive," "It would be amazing to see live," and "How far can they grow?" The album title "NALLINA" means "something amazing will happen" in Korean, encapsulating their confidence and freedom to create a new movement in a boring world. The group's name, derived from "Next Z (G)eneration," signifies their determination to pave the way for a new generation. The title track "NALLINA" is a dance song with unique percussion sounds and moombahton rhythms, showcasing their playful spirit through diverse rhythm variations and dance breaks. The MV embodies this spirit with a mischievous and carefree attitude. YU bursts into a room, engages in pranks on the streets, and acts freely in restaurants and convenience stores, reflecting the impulsive nature of Generation Z. The humorous twist at the end, revealing he was just looking for a chocolate bar, adds a witty touch typical of Gen Z. The feelings embedded in NEXZ's work resonate widely, garnering significant empathy. The package release of the 1st mini-album "NALLINA" in Japan is set for November 29 (Friday), but all tracks are already available for streaming. The album features impressive new songs, including "HARD," which starts with a heavy 808 bass, "Next Zeneration," co-written by TOMOYA, HARU, and HYUI, and the charming confession song "Eye to Eye," showcasing their individuality. With the release of the 1st mini-album "NALLINA," NEXZ has entered a busy period of activities in Korea, signaling the start of their impactful presence in the music scene.
