Group NEXZ (Nexji) shone with their presence by securing their first music show number-one spot with 'Mmchk' (Eumchukeu).

On May 6, NEXZ lifted the number-one trophy on MBC every1 and MBC M's 'Show! Champion' with the title track 'Mmchk' from their second single album.

Tomoya, Yuu, Haru, So Geon, Seita, Hui, and Yuki shed tears immediately after being called and said, "Wow... I really can't believe it. We finally got the number-one spot, and we consider it a gift from NEX2Y (fan club name: Nexty). We will continue to strive tirelessly in the future. Thank you for always cheering for us and giving us so much love. We will work hard to become a team that continues to be loved by everyone." They shared their tearful remarks.

On the day of their comeback, they had stated at the press showcase, "Last year, we were nominated for music show number-one spots with 'O-RLY?' (O Rilly?) and 'Beat-Boxer' (Bitbokseo), but unfortunately, we didn't win. We really want to win number-one in this comeback. We will all work hard to achieve our goal." Finally, NEXZ, who secured their first music show number-one title, fulfilled their long-cherished dream and shared the joy with their fans.

With this new album, NEXZ reached a career high, showing upward momentum. The title track 'Mmchk' topped Bugs' real-time chart at 8 p.m. on the day of its release, April 27, and at midnight on the 28th, 'Mmchk', the album track 'HYPEMAN' (Haipeuman), and 'Mmchk (English Version)' (Eumchukeu (Yeongeo Beobeon)) simultaneously occupied the top three spots on that chart.

Album sales in the week after release also broke their own record. The new album sold 444,730 copies in its first week, a 277% increase compared to their previous single album 'Ride the Vibe' (Raideu Deo Baibeu), and topped the Circle Chart Weekly Retail Album Chart (2026.04.26–05.02). The 'Mmchk' music video, which spreads the presence of a special existence around the world, surpassed 10 million views on YouTube within two days of its release and broke through 30 million views on the afternoon of the 5th, proving its global popularity and attention.

With their passion and sincerity for the stage, the strong chemistry among members, and the solid love and support from fans as nutrients, the group NEXZ has grown steadily. NEXZ will celebrate their second anniversary since debut on May 20. As they build their growth story as JYP Entertainment's "next-generation self-producing group" by directly participating in songwriting, composition, arrangement, and performance, the eyes of music fans worldwide are focused on their future.

Meanwhile, NEXZ announced the start of the global showcase event 'NEXZ GLOBAL SHOWCASE EVENT < Mmchk : Not Typical >' (Eumchukeu : Nat Tipikeol) in Taipei on the 4th. In response to the enthusiastic support from global fans confirmed through special concerts like 'NEXZ SPECIAL CONCERT < ONE BEAT >' (Won Biteu) held in Taipei and Hong Kong earlier this year, NEXZ is actively moving forward. NEXZ will continue their momentum on June 6 in Hong Kong, July 4 in Bangkok, and July 12 in Singapore.
