NEXZ is moving on to its first Asia tour after wrapping up a run of major Latin American music festivals. Throughout September, the group performed at ‘STRAYCITY’ and ‘Rock in Rio’ in four Latin American cities: Bogotá, Colombia, on September 9 (local time), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the 11th, Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the 14th–15th and Mexico City on the 25th–26th. At Rock in Rio, which drew about 100,000 people, NEXZ opened the show and sang its title track ‘SAUCIN’’ three times across the main set and encore. Right after the performance, the song topped YouTube daily charts in eight Latin American regions including Venezuela, Uruguay and Costa Rica. At STRAYCITY, a new festival that drew 270,000 people over three cities, NEXZ shared the stage with labelmates Stray Kids. Leader Tomoya said, “When I heard the crowd singing ‘SAUCIN’’ together, I was overwhelmed to feel that our music had reached the other side of the world,” while Seita said the members communicated with audiences in each city’s local language. Hyui and Yuki added, “With the energy we gained there, we will move toward our goal of a world tour.” NEXZ kicks off its first solo Asia tour ‘SAUCIN’ THE WORLD’ in Seoul on October 17–18.
