JYP Entertainment–signed boy band Nexz (NEXZ) is aiming for the tastes of global music fans in the second half of the year with a new album that captures their distinctive, popping sensibility.
Nexz will release the new album 'SAUCIN'' at 6 p.m. on Aug. 24. In the first trailer video, unveiled on the group's official social media channels on the 3rd, the members transform into farmers, peacefully tending crops before simultaneously bursting the harvest to create vividly colored sauces in a whimsical yet delightful twist that piqued curiosity about the new record.
The new album title 'SAUCIN'' is a name that combines the English word 'SAUCE' and the progressive suffix '~ING'. Like the diverse sauces that stimulate different tastes, the title expresses Nexz's playful ambition to broadly satisfy the public's subtle and varied musical tastes, from so-called "dip-first" to "pour-first."
This comeback comes about four months after releasing their second single 'Mmchk' and is an ultra-fast move. Nexz proved remarkable growth with the previous release by setting their highest first-week sales, conquering the top of major domestic music charts and winning their first music show trophy, drawing attention to whether they will carry that upward momentum into this new release.
Their global momentum as a "next-generation live-stage destination"—earned through solid live performance and choreography—remains unabated. Fresh off their debut Japan arena tour NEXZ LIVE TOUR 2026 "Hellmate" and a successful global showcase tour across five Asian cities, Nexz will ride that wave to perform at Brazil's major music festival 'Rock in Rio' and the new Latin American festival 'STRAYCITY' in September, expanding their activities worldwide.
