I thought since I did a profile on Nine Percent, I'd better do one on my YueHua babies too. All of them were on Idol Producer as well (three of whom debut as part of Nine Percent). Here's my Nine Percent article:
NEX7 乐华七子 (yue hua qi zi) or NEXT is a group formed under YueHua Entertainment, and if you watch Idol Producer, you would know how 'up there' they are, especially in terms of company name.
So here are the seven members (according to oldest to youngest).

He's the oldest and the leader of the group. Besides Mandarin, he is also fluent in Korean and was a trainee in Produce 101 Season 2. He debut with Nine Percent. (for more info, refer to Nine Percent article).
Bi Wen Jun (毕雯珺)

That's all seven of them. Each of them has released their individual songs, which can also be found in their album Next To You. Some NEX7 songs I like include Heart Full of You and Blah-Blah. Below is one of their music videos.
Thanks for reading!
