JYP Entertainment's (hereafter, JYP) new boy group NEXZ commemorated their first comeback after debut with fans around the world. They released their 1st mini-album 'NALLINA' and the title track of the same name on November 18 at 6 PM. At 8 PM on the same day, they simultaneously streamed 'NEXZ COMEBACK SHOW NALLINA' through Mnet and M2's YouTube channels, communicating with viewers worldwide. They opened the comeback show with the song 'Next Zeneration,' which members HARU, TOMOYA, and HYUI participated in writing, and premiered a new song with a diverse atmosphere, raising the excitement. Through the first track 'HARD' of the new mini-album, they expressed powerful and intense energy, and with the title track 'NALLINA,' they showcased NEXZ's charm and passion through strong performances like dance breaks, catching attention. They also re-arranged the performance project 'NEXZ Archive,' which received a positive response before their official debut, into a medley, demonstrating their confidence in performance. They captivated people with upgraded dance skills, from the hip and powerful 'Eve's Tambourine' to the high-difficulty breakdancing techniques in Timbaland & Magoo's 'Drop (feat. Fatman Scoop).' NEXZ, composed entirely of Generation Z members, boasts a lively charm. They set up various talk segments to entertain fans, introducing episodes that caused 'trouble' among them with emojis and sharing stories about wanting to coolly forgive each other. In the segment 'STREET GENZ FIGHTER,' where they picked the best Generation Z member, the youngest line HYUI and YUKI calmly judged as TOMOYA, YU, HARU, SO GEON, and SEITA each showed off their quirky Generation Z sides, inducing laughter. After the comeback show, they expressed, 'It was great to perform in front of NEX2Y (the name for NEXZ fans) after a long time, and we received a lot of strength. Thanks to the support nearby, I think the song 'NALLINA' was completed. We want to show the grown-up NEXZ this time, and as the title suggests, we will create a 'big commotion,' so please support us. We will not forget our gratitude and will work hard to become great artists.' JYP's first boy group in about six years since the 'global top artist' Stray Kids, NEXZ's 1st mini-album 'NALLINA' contains confidence and ambition to 'create a hot and new commotion in a boring world.' The title track is an attractive dance song with unique percussion sounds and moombahton rhythms. At midnight on the 18th, the short-form dance challenge for 'NALLINA' was released through NEXZ's official channel, featuring point dances that bounce like a ball and excellent control of dynamics, leading to a surge of participation from K-POP fans.
