• Interview with NexG, a group of winners of the AAA 2025 Best New Artist Award for Singer

"I want to be the '5th Generation Performance Top' and 'JYP's Future'."

The group NEXZ (NEXZ, Tomoya, Yuwoo, Haru, Sogon, Seita, Hewy, and Yuki) appeared in the "10th anniversary AAA 2025" with their song "Beat-Boxer," proving themselves to be a "performance restaurant" with a spectacular stage.

Nexji won the Best New Artist Award in the Singer category at the 10th Anniversary Asian Artist Awards 2025 (hereinafter referred to as 'AAA 2025') held at Kaohsiung National Stadium on December 6 last year.

NexG is a JYP rookie boy group that debuted in May 2024, with members selected from JYP and Sony Music Japan's survival program "Nage Project Season 2." Six of the seven members are Japanese and one is a Korean-Japanese with Korean nationality, targeting Korean and Japanese activities at the same time.

Nexge performed a variety of performances, including the title song "Beat-Boxer" (Beat-Boxer) released in October last year, the title song "I'm Him" (I'm Power), and the title song "O-RLY?" (O-Really?) of the 2nd mini album "O-Really?" (O-Really?) released in April last year. Nexge made a strong impression only at the first attendance of "AAA" with powerful songs mixed with hip-hop and electricity and energetic performances featuring acrobatic, the symbol of JYP artists.

Nexge recently met with Star News and conducted an interview with them about the '10th Anniversary AAA 2025' award speech.

-Physical fitness management seems to be very important as they continue to work between Korea and Japan. How do you manage your physical strength.

▶Something: Yu-woo started his physical exercise by jumping rope this year. I tried it with Yuwoo, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. Still, I kept jumping rope, but when I was active, I felt my body became lighter.

▶Tomo: We eat a lot and we're serious about what we're going to eat. Yu-woo is good at cooking, so he knows how to make Korean, Chinese, and Japanese food, as well as ice cream and cake desserts. I made you soy soup this morning.

▶Yuuu: I'm going to have Motsunabe for dinner tonight. We can eat sukiyaki well.

-What modifier or nickname would NexG want to have in 2026?

▶Tomoya: I want to be the '5th generation performance top'.

▶Haru: I want to be 'JYP's future'. Just as many senior artists are representing JYP right now, I would be very happy if we could become artists representing JYP like our seniors someday.

▶Hui: We thankfully call it a 'performance restaurant', and we also want to call it a 'relax restaurant'.

-What's your role model? What's your role model as a team?

▶Tomo: I think it's Stray Kids. Even if I debut at another company, I think I'll use Stray Kids as my role model. It's amazing that all eight members have unique personalities, great teamwork, and make music.

▶Hui: It looks good to give opinions on the music you want to do in the team and do activities.

-What are the new interests and hobbies that have occurred to the members these days.

▶Yoooooo: My team watches a lot of movies these days. I bought a 75-inch TV and a couch sofa in my accommodation to watch a movie altogether. Haru and Tomoya recommended it, so we all watch it together.

▶Haru: I watched the movie 'Even if I Disappear Tonight', which featured actor Choo Young-woo who attended 'AAA 2025'.

-What are NEXG's plans for 2026 activities?

▶Tomo: We're making a comeback soon, so please look forward to it. I'm going to tour after the comeback, but I'm going to meet a lot of NEXT. I'm preparing to show you a new side of me then. This year, we would like to attend AAA and meet many fans.

-The end.
