JYP Entertainment boy group NEXZ further cemented their global popularity by winning the "Global Hot Trend" award at the 2025 The Fact Music Awards (TMA). The group, composed of Tomoya, Yu, Haru, So Gun, Seita, Hui, and Yuki, took the stage at the 2025 TMA ceremony held at the Outdoor Performance Venue in Macau on the 20th and proudly lifted the trophy. This marks their second consecutive win, following last year’s "Hottest" award.

During the ceremony, NEXZ delivered high-energy performances of their recent mini-album's title track, "O-RLY?," and the B-side "Simmer." Showcasing their polished choreography and teamwork, the group captivated the live audience, who responded with thunderous cheers to NEXZ’s dynamic presence on stage.

In their acceptance speech, the members expressed heartfelt gratitude: “Last year, we received our very first award as NEXZ on this very stage, and we are deeply thankful to be honored once again this year.” They also took a moment to celebrate fandom NEX2Y and member Yuki’s birthday, sharing their appreciation with fans worldwide.

It has been a year of robust activity for NEXZ. With the April release of their mini 2nd album "O-RLY?," they thrilled music fans with their electrifying charms. In May, the rookie group earned the Newcomer Award at the 2025 Asia Star Entertainment Awards (ASEA), signaling their burgeoning potential. After debuting on Japan's popular music program "Music Station" in June, NEXZ drew significant local media attention. Their first solo tour followed in August, with eighteen sold-out concerts across fifteen Japanese cities, including a stop at the famed Budokan.

Next, NEXZ prepares to host their first solo concert in Korea, "NEXZ SPECIAL CONCERT ONE BEAT," taking place on October 25 and 26 at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa District, Seoul. The landmark event promises to be a meaningful occasion, reflecting not only their growth since debut but also their gratitude for fans’ enduring support.

Having notched numerous accolades and demonstrated consistent leadership within the global music scene, NEXZ shows no signs of slowing down, with further plans to deepen their connection with fans around the world.
