[Dispatch=Reporter Yuha] NEXZ proved its steep growth trajectory.

NEXZ released its mini fourth album "SAUCIN'" on the 24th. The new album recorded 432,672 copies in first-week sales based on Hanteochart.

The title track of the same name is a song that compares NEXZ to a sauce that makes any food special. It added flavor to listening with upbeat energy and addictive melody.

From the first week of comeback, NEXZ heated up the stage. NEXZ appeared on Mnet's "M Countdown," KBS-2TV's "Music Bank," MBC-TV's "Show! Music Core," and SBS-TV's "Inkigayo" from the 27th to 30th.

The members showcased various stages including "SAUCIN'" and B-side tracks "Rocco" and "Epitite." Through powerful performances, NEXZ displayed its seven members' seven colors of distinctive flavor.

The members also demonstrated MC skills. Tomoya, So Gun, and Yuki appeared as special MCs for "Show! Music Core." Dressed in chef outfits and appearing on stage, they added vitality to the program with witty hosting.

Meanwhile, NEXZ continues its activities in overseas performances next month. On the 11th (local time), it heads to Brazil's "Rock in Rio." On the 9th and 14-15th, and 25-26th, it takes the stage at "Stray City" events held in three Latin American regions.
