The group NEXZ brought big laughs to fans by revealing a new and unconventional "Chugumi" (desired image) for 2026.

On the 15th, the video "2026 NEXZ's Chugumi STYLE #1" was released on NEXZ's official YouTube channel. In the video, the members took time to announce their ideal appearances and styles for 2026.

What caught the eye most was the members' declarations of cute image transformations. Haru, usually called "NEXZ's puppy," declared with determination, "I have graduated from being NEXZ's puppy. I will become a wolf." He vowed, "I won't smile and will show a cool image from now on," but caused laughter by immediately letting his guard down at the members' teasing.

Leader Tomoya also revealed his ambitious aspiration to shed his existing cute image and "become a hip-hop leader in 2026." However, seeing his hip-hop gestures, the members threw "fact bombs," saying, "What is that?" and "It's not hip at all," making the scene erupt in laughter.

The youngest member, Yuki, also had a unique resolution. He declared he would break away from the "baby squirrel" image to become a "Charismatic Rock & Roll Artist," announcing a ban on his trademark "dad jokes (Oyaji gag)." However, rendering his declaration useless, he immediately revealed his comedic instinct at the members' request, radiating a clumsy charm.

In addition, Yu chose "simple coolness that isn't surprised even when meeting a ghost," and Hyui chose "a fashion star who poses like he's on a runway even when he falls" as their Chugumi, showing off their whimsical imagination.

Fans who watched the video reacted enthusiastically, saying, "Haru, the puppy who wants to be a wolf, is so cute," "Yuki's ban on dad jokes will probably last three days," and "I'm looking forward to NEXZ's transformation in 2026."

Meanwhile, in the latter part of the video, a "Liar Game" related to the members' Chugumi was played, offering a glimpse into the fierce psychological warfare and delightful chemistry between the members.
