NEXZ kick off first Asia tour 'SAUCIN' THE WORLD' at Seoul's Olympic Hall

NEXZ open first Asia tour at Olympic Hall

NEXZ launched SAUCIN' THE WORLD, their first Asia tour, at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul on December 18. The seven members — Tomoya, Yuu, Haru, So Gun, Seita, Hui, and Yuki — took the stage in front of a packed house, something the group acknowledged directly from the stage.

The group was formed through Niji Project Season 2, a survival audition program jointly planned by JYP Entertainment and Sony Music Japan. Their name is short for "Next Z(G)eneration," carrying the idea of leading the next generation through new music and performances.

What the members said after the show

Tomoya spoke once the concert wrapped. "It's been almost a year since a Korean concert," he said, "and now that the tour is starting, we'll go meet fans all around the world." The team is already preparing for next year, he added, asking fans to look forward to it.

Haru reflected on how fast things have moved:

"I'm only in my third year but time feels so fast. NEXZ will go anywhere. I want to do concerts in bigger venues in Korea too."

With about two months left in 2026, Haru said he has no regrets about the year. He closed by promising to keep working hard and show fans the best performances possible.
