The South Korean boy band NEXZ released its second single album, “Mmchk,” on April 27, 2026 [1].

The release marks a strategic effort by the group to establish a free-spirited and confident identity within the competitive K-pop market. By pairing a high-energy music video with a live performance, the group aims to expand its global reach under JYP Entertainment.

The single was officially released at 6 p.m. KST [2]. To celebrate the launch, the seven members of the group [3] held a press showcase at the Blue Square in Yongsan-gu, located in central Seoul [4]. During the event, the group performed the title track for attendees and media members.

Preparation for the comeback began earlier in the spring. The group's tracklist was first made public on April 8, 2026 [5]. This rollout period allowed the group to build anticipation through trailers and social media engagement before the final release date.

The performance at Blue Square served as the primary venue for the group to showcase its choreography and vocal synchronization. The event emphasized the group's cohesive image as they transitioned into this new musical era. The accompanying music video, released via official JYP Entertainment channels, provides a visual representation of the confident persona the group intends to project.
