I keep putting off making another post to do other things, but I refuse to let this go again like this. So instead I'm taking the "L" and just being super late in talking about things. Starting with the upcoming comeback for NEXZ, a mini album titled O-RLY?
The group has release a pre-release music video of the song, Simmer. Personally I love it, but I am one of those K-pop fans that likes what others consider to be "noise music", which I would say the song falls into.
If anything the music video is getting me slowly used to to So Gon's blond hair. It still shocks me to see every time. Though from the album previews that are out we will be getting the entire group as blonds, and So Gon gets super long hair.
There is also a music video teaser of the main track of the release, Slo-mo, that just came out today.
The thing that stands out the most about the music video from what we can see is that it looks like a sequel of sorts to Starlight, with the same aesthetic, as well as the same setting for part of it. Starlight felt like it was a start to some lore for the group but has not been touched on again until now, so I'm interested to see if it gets more established. Especially as it would be a good way to make the group stand out.
So far I have loved everything NEXZ has put out and hope that with every release they get noticed more, as they're such a fun group to watch their variety content, not to mention very hard working and talented.
