SEOUL, August 18 (AJP) - K-pop boy group NEXZ showcased a track from their upcoming fourth mini album at KCON LA 2026, a week before the album's release, their agency JYP Entertainment said on Tuesday.

The seven-member group performed the title track of "SAUCIN" at the K-pop convention in Los Angeles ahead of the album's release, slated for Aug. 24.

JYP described the track as a fast-paced Eurodance track with a festival-like mood and an addictive melody.

The lyrics compare NEXZ to a sauce that can make any dish stand out, while the choreography includes gestures that mimic pouring and tasting the sauce.
