"Wherever they go, they're a hit."

Boy group NAZE dreams of becoming a versatile entertainer just one month after their debut.

On the 5th, NAZE (Kaisei, Yoon-gi, Ato, Turn, Yu-ya, Kim Geon, Do-hyeok) held a report meeting to commemorate the completion of their debut activities at the Samsung Hall of Ewha Womans University in Daehyeon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

On this day, Ato shared his thoughts on the debut, saying, "Today, the reality of our debut truly hit me. While I felt it during various activities, this moment today made me think, 'We really debuted.' In fact, it is filled with happy moments. I am so happy that I feel everything in a good mood."

NAZE is a rookie boy group presented by C9 Entertainment for the first time in about five years and is the company's first multinational boy group. Before their debut, all members appeared as lead actors in the Japanese terrestrial channel TBS drama 'DREAM STAGE,' solidifying their fandom.

In particular, they attracted attention by achieving the highest initial album sales record for a small-to-medium agency idol group that debuted in Korea in 2026 among K-pop groups, without coming from a survival program. They also achieved global success, including reaching number one on the Oricon Daily Single Ranking in Japan.

They also opened up about the inevitable hardships of being a multinational idol. Turn said, "From the trainee days until now, I have liked talking with the members. No matter what problem arises, we just talk. We don't fight or worry about each other's feelings; we just talk directly. We have solved problems this way," revealing the group's communication style.

However, there was one problem: language. Turn explained, "Our team has Japanese, Korean, and Thai members. We have to communicate in Korean, but during trainee days, my Korean wasn't good, so we used translation apps and communicated slowly, word by word. That's why we couldn't fight. Even if it was inconvenient, the members taught us slowly. Korean members also helped a lot."

Turn added, "Now that my Korean has improved, we can fight," which drew laughter.

Yoon-gi spoke about the driving force behind being able to engage in numerous activities during the one month since debut: "Every day was new. I always pursue new things and like fun, untried experiences, so every day was precious time. It was so enjoyable and happy. Since we did it together with the members, not alone, it was even more fun. Of course, I slept only an hour and a half a day, but because the day felt long, I felt proud and cherished it."

Next, Yu-ya said, "It was because of the fans that I could work hard. We held a fan signing event after debut, and seeing each fan's face one by one gave me strength. I will work hard in the future," boasting of his special love for fans.

Finally, they confessed about the epithets they want to gain. Yoon-gi said, "I want to gain the epithet 'free-spirited.' I prefer being free and expressing each individual's personality rather than being made up or confined to a mold. I think it would be more meaningful to convey that freely to the fans. I want to hear people say, 'NAZE is free,' and 'NAZE is fun.'"

Ato said, "I want to gain the epithet 'Wherever they go, they're a hit.' We are doing various activities, and I hope people feel, 'NAZE is really a hit,' 'It's fun,' and 'Watching NAZE makes me happy.'"

NAZE debuted last month on the 4th with the release of their first mini-album 'NAZE'.
