NEXZ Tomoya, JYP's First Win on 'Immortal Songs' Debut... Park Jin-young's Korean Beef Pledge Unfulfilled

Tomoya of NEXZ(Nexz) revealed the story following his achievement as the first JYP artist to win ’Immortal Songs.’ The 766th episode of KBS2’s music variety show ’Immortal Songs’ will air today (25th) as the second part of the biggest event of the first half of the year, ’2026 King of Kings Tournament.’ NEXZ(Nexz) is appearing in the ’King of Kings Tournament’ for the first time, having previously won on their debut appearance in the ’Lyricist & Composer Joo Young-hoon Special.’ Upon hearing the news of their victory, their agency JYP was reportedly very pleased. In particular, Tomoya stated, ″As the first JYP artist to win on ’Immortal Songs,’ the vice president personally praised and congratulated me.″ Additionally, it was mentioned that during their previous appearance, NEXZ(Nexz) requested the head producer Park Jin-young to buy them Korean beef if they won. However, Tomoya said, ″I haven’t received the Korean beef promise yet,″ drawing sympathy from senior singers around him. Lee Chan-won, acting as NEXZ(Nexz)’s spokesperson, stirred the atmosphere by suggesting, ″How about asking for a vacation trip to Japan for all members if we win today?″ thereby adding a ’King of Kings Tournament victory promise’ on top of the ’Korean beef promise.’ The special second part of ’Immortal Songs - 2026 King of Kings Tournament’ will be broadcast today (25th).
