Yuki

Yuki (ユウキ / 유우키), born Nishiyama Yuki (西山裕貴), is the main vocalist and maknae of NEXZ, the JYP Entertainment and Sony Music Labels Japan group built through Nizi Project Season 2. He entered the show with obvious dance ability, but his bigger win was how quickly his voice became central to the team's emotional weight.

Park Jin-young awarding him the vocal cube was the turning point. From there, Yuki stopped reading like a promising trainee and started reading like a member the final lineup would need. He placed third in the project, debuted on May 20, 2024 with Ride the Vibe, and has helped anchor NEXZ through Nallina, O-RLY?, and Beat-Boxer.

The maknae label fits his age, but not the full shape of his role. Yuki is one of the reasons NEXZ already feels vocally dependable while still operating with rookie speed. With JYP Entertainment and Sony pushing the group across Japan and Korea, he remains one of the clearest long-term upside pieces in the lineup.
