JYP Entertainment’s powerhouse rookie group, NEXZ (Tomoya, Yu, Haru, Sogen, Seita, Hui, Yuki), is prepping for their energetic return with their second mini album ‘O-RLY?’ on May 28, 2025. Following their explosive debut with ‘NALLINA’ in November 2024, the comeback marks a significant growth for the rising stars.

The new album radiates NEXZ’s signature playful yet heartfelt vibes, featuring five versatile tracks, including the title song ‘O-RLY?’, pre-released music video ‘Simmer’, high-energy ‘Want More? One More!’, heartfelt ‘Run With Me’, and dreamy ‘Slo-mo’. A special track, ‘Z Side_250226 (CD Only)’, will also be exclusive to the physical album.
