NAZE has officially entered the K-pop scene with their self-titled debut mini album. After making their on-screen debut in the Japanese drama Dreamstage, NAZE. The seven-member multinational boy group—Ato, Kaisei, Younki, Turn, Yuya, Kimkun, and Dohyeok—brings together talent from Korea, Thailand, and Japan. Their title track, “People Talk,” encourages listeners to embrace happiness and individuality while rising above the negativity of everyday life.
Their debut mini album captures the playful excitement of a new crush while also exploring themes of self-love, growth, and finding comfort in the unknown. Across its tracks, NAZE balances bright, youthful energy with heartfelt messages that reflect the group’s outlook as they begin this new chapter together. While the album introduces NAZE’s musical identity, this interview offers a closer look at the personalities behind the performances. From adjusting to life together to finding comfort in a new city, the members reflect on the experiences that have shaped them as both artists and friends.
In this interview with Music Makers, the members discuss their first impressions of one another, their growing bond as a group, and even share a funny story about navigating early language barriers. Although they’re just beginning their idol journey, NAZE’s natural chemistry and ambitious mindset make it clear they’re a group to watch, and one that will have people talking in no time.
