In 2020, the survival series “Nizi Project”, a collaboration between Sony Music and the Korean company JYP Entertainment, created the group NiziU. Today, the winning group of “Nizi Project Season 2” was revealed.
NEXZ are the winners of “Nizi Project Season 2”, a season devoted to finding a new global boyband. They were created from nine finalists, from a pool of over 10,000 applicants. The auditions for this season where held in March to May 2022 in eight Japanese cities, as well as the American cities of New York and Los Angeles, and Seoul, South Korea. A number of the applicants then went to a training camp in Japan in August, followed by twelve of them advancing to a training camp in Korea in December. Nine contestants then made it to the final round, with the final seven becoming NEXZ.
The group’s name stems from “Next Z (G)eneration.”
