A global boy group "NEXZ" born from the Japan-Korea joint audition project "Nizi Project Season 2" by Sony Music and JYP is starting a new project with the daily hydration drink "Aquarius." Aquarius supports people who work hard every day by quickly replenishing the water and minerals needed for the body after sweating, and is implementing communication that captures "sweating = proof of hard work." The slogan of Aquarius is "By the side of advancing people." The arrow of the white feather was placed on NEXZ, who continued to embody that message in "Nizi Project Season 2." The content "NEXZ | AQUARIUS #0 'Start' [Advancing People Channel]" was released on January 15th (Monday). Aquarius has opened a YouTube channel "Advancing People Channel" to support people who want to become themselves. NEXZ appeared as the first hero. In the future, content introducing the real appearance and inner feelings of NEXZ that can only be seen here will be released one after another on this "Advancing People Channel." In addition, their appearance preparing for a debut and various other developments are also drawing attention. NEXZ is expected to stir up the music scene this year with a large-scale project worthy of the name "global boy group." ■ Related links NEXZ official website
