JYP Entertainment‘s (hereafter JYP) new boy group NEXZ has caught attention by releasing a performance video teaser for their new album’s track ‘Next Zeneration’.

NEXZ (Tomoya, Yuu, Haru, So Gun, Seita, Huey, Yuki) will be releasing their first mini-album ‘NALLINA’ on the 18th. Following the release of the track video teaser for the track ‘HARD’ on the official SNS channel on the 14th, JYP posted the performance video teaser for ‘Next Zeneration’, the third track on the album, at midnight on the 15th, expressing their confidence as a ‘next-generation stage powerhouse’.

NEXZ, a hip and young seven-member dance crew with visuals, presented addictive performances such as high-difficulty b-boying and freestyle to an exciting rhythm. In particular, the members caught everyone‘s attention by making eye contact with each other and making playful expressions, showing off their energy.

The new song ‘Next Zeneration’ is a song that stands out with its old-school hip-hop beat that expresses boom bap in a trendy way, and the various sounds add to the fun of listening. The song was composed and arranged by famous K-pop composing team Solsire, and members Tomoya, Haru, and Huey have drawn attention by being listed on the lyricist credits for the first time since their debut. Just like their group name, which is an abbreviation of ‘Next Z(G)eneration’, the confident and witty lyrics that NEXZ use to introduce themselves as ‘the leaders of the new generation who will rise high’ are the point.

Meanwhile, the mini-album ‘NALLINA’ and the title song of the same name by NEXZ, the first boy group to be presented by JYP in about 6 years since ‘Global Top Artist’ Stray Kids, will be officially released on Monday, November 18 at 6 PM. At 8 PM, the ‘NEXZ Comeback Show NALLINA’ will be simultaneously broadcast on Mnet and M2 YouTube channels to meet with fans from all over the world.
