Nexji recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and he is a junior to Stray Kids, so he has high expectations rather than burdens. And kickflip is a good stimulant. It was nice to meet JYP artists on a business trip.
NexG is a seven-member multinational boy group from JYP Entertainment that debuted on May 20 last year. It was formed through Season 2 of the survival audition program 「Nage Project」 co-organized by JY .
This time, he appeared on tvN's entertainment program 「15 Business Trip」, gathering a total of 11 teams and 40 JYP artists, from JYP CEO and singer Park Jin-young (J.Y. Park) to 2PM, DAY6, TWICE, Stray Kids, ITZY, X-Dinnery Heroes, Nix, Nizu, and Kick Flip.
So Gun was excited and thankful that JYP seniors and juniors gathered in the same place and filmed it I was nervous and wanted to make precious opportunities into good memories, so I think I had a good time filming it"I recalled the time.
Then "I went to my senior's waiting room during the break, asked him to take a picture, and acted cute." Thanks to that, I think I got closer and felt more like a family. We have our own content, and there was a video of us using Stray Kids' songs and the members creating choreography and dancing. In that video, we were curious about the seniors' reactions, so we went to their waiting room and asked them during break time. They admired that it was really cool," he said, expressing his gratitude to his senior Stray Kids.
Sometimes, the title of a junior who connects Stray Kids seems to be a burden. But Yuu expects "more than the burden. It's an honor to be able to follow the path Stray Kids made. We have Stray Kids' music, and we want to show and deliver our own music and be loved a lot."
There are three rookie boy groups within JYP with similar annual leave. X-Dinner Heroes debuting in 2021, NexG debuting last year, Kick Flip debuting this year. As rookies with similar debut periods, they feel a sense of companionship and good competition at the same time.
Tomoya said "Since I've been a trainee for a long time, I've been a trainee with seniors and colleagues such as X-Dinner Heroes, Exmix, Kickflip, and Nizu, and I was so happy to talk about it in '15." Every time I meet all the artists at work, I'm glad to say hello."
Then "Kickflips also used to be trainees, and they are friends and colleagues who talk comfortably. I think it's a good stimulant for us. Watching the Kickflip friends perform, I think we should work hard, too."
NexG will release its third mini album 'Beat Boxer' through various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 27th.
