Nexz Shatters Career Highs With ‘O-RLY?’—Marking a Stellar Comeback
JYP Entertainment’s rising boy group Nexz completes a successful comeback with their second EP and record-breaking milestones
Nexz’s Triumphant Return With Bold New Music
JYP Entertainment’s powerhouse boy group Nexz (Tomoya Minase, Yu, Haru, Sogen, Seita, Hui, Yuki) has returned with their second mini-album ‘O-RLY?’ after a five-month hiatus, achieving not only personal bests but major milestones in their K-pop journey. The group’s comeback, highlighted by the energetic title track ‘O-RLY?’ and the stylish b-side ‘Simmer’, showcases their signature free-spirited charisma and multifaceted appeal.
Hands-on Creativity and Group Growth
More than ever, Nexz members themselves drove the creative process: Tomoya, Yu, and Haru choreographed both main and b-side tracks, while Tomoya also produced the album teasers. “It’s gratifying to present a new side of Nexz to fans and we’re proud of our creative involvement,” the team shared, emphasizing their commitment to self-expression and evolution.
Breaking New Records and First-Time Achievements
This promotional cycle was filled with first-ever experiences: Nexz clinched No.1 on domestic real-time music charts, topped the Hanteo Chart and Circle Chart for weekly albums, and more than doubled their first-week sales compared to previous releases. Further, their performance streak included a first radio show appearance and Tomoya serving as special MC on SBS Inkigayo. Most exciting of all, the group reminisced about being nominated for No.1 on KBS 2TV’s Music Bank—a dream milestone for any idol group.
Message of Gratitude and Looking Forward
Nexz expressed heartfelt thanks to NEXT2Y (their fandom), saying, “Standing on stage as a nominee for the first time felt surreal—a gift from our fans. We’re still growing, but we’ll come back even better next time.”
Real-life moments—like catching their songs in a supermarket—fuel their ambition. “We want Nexz’s music to be heard everywhere. This promotion marks the start of our year, with upcoming Japanese tours, exciting events, and the launch of our official light stick on the horizon. Entering our second year, we’re excited to show fans even more!”
Nexz’s Skyrocketing Ascent Continues
As they carve out their place in K-pop and set their sights higher for 2025, global fans are eagerly watching Nexz’s rise—proof of a new era launched by a group determined to soar.
