Yu

Tomiyasu Yu (富安 悠), known professionally as Yu, is one of the cleanest visual-performance anchors inside NEXZ. Born on April 27, 2005, he entered the public eye through JYP and Sony Music's Nizi Project Season 2, then carried that momentum into the group's 2024 debut with the kind of poise that reads bigger than a standard rookie rollout.

Yu's edge is not just visual appeal. He came into the market with a strong dance base, years of audition experience, and the kind of camera comfort that survival-show lineups do not always produce. That blend of sharp lines, stable stage energy, and easy charisma helped him become one of the members most immediately legible to new audiences as JYP Entertainment pushed NEXZ across both Korea and Japan.

The group's early catalogue has given him a solid platform to grow on. From Ride the Vibe and NALLINA to O-RLY?, One Bite, and Beat-Boxer, Yu has been part of a rollout built around speed, consistency, and dual-market scale. On HITKULTR, he reads as more than a supporting visual in a new group. He is one of the faces carrying NEXZ's next-generation pitch.
