Group NEXZ member Tomoya brought smiles to fans' faces by revealing his own unique tip for eating ramen in his hometown of Fukuoka.

Recently, a vlog video titled '[NEXZ VLOG] TOMOYA VLOG | Moya-log #4', capturing the colorful daily life of Tomoya who went on a vacation to his hometown Fukuoka for the first time in a year, was posted on NEXZ's official YouTube channel.

In the video, Tomoya exuded the ordinary and heartwarming charm of a young man in his 20s—a 180-degree turn from his charismatic idol persona on stage—by enjoying a hot spring trip with his family, carefully cooking budae jjigae (army stew), and affectionately playing with his nephew/niece.

Among them, the scene that particularly caught the fans' attention was the 'Fukuoka Tonkotsu Ramen' mukbang (eating show) shown as dinner on the last day of his vacation. Tomoya, who thoroughly inhaled his ramen, fried rice, and even fried dumplings, saying it was a familiar taste he had enjoyed since childhood, showed off his extraordinary side as a foodie.

After deliciously emptying his ramen, he naturally ordered an extra serving of noodles (kaedama) and secretly passed on his own secret method, saying to the camera, "There's a great tip for eating this deliciously here."

The tip Tomoya highly recommended was not immediately mixing the extra noodles into the remaining ramen broth, but rather 'tasting the noodles themselves served on the plate first.' He picked up the plain white noodles as they were and admired, "It's really delicious even if you eat it like this. You can enjoy (the savory taste of the noodles themselves)," making viewers swallow their saliva.

Fans who watched the vlog showed enthusiastic responses, saying, "I never imagined eating just the noodles separately, he's a true foodie," "If it's a tip recommended by Tomoya, I must try it when I go to Fukuoka," "I can feel the real vibe of someone who grew up eating local ramen since childhood," and "Seeing him eat so well is so cute."

Meanwhile, Tomoya, who completely recharged while spending a sweet vacation in a warm time with his family, plans to return to global fans with even more highly perfected music and performances alongside his NEXZ members.
