AEN Unveils Desert-Set Performance Video for Debut Title Track

Rookie K-POP group AEN has released a new performance film for the Korean-language version of its debut title track. The group posted the video for "X to Z (Next to me)," from its debut EP "A NEW ERA OF NOW," on its official YouTube channel.

The clip opens on a sand desert and shifts between locations and outfits as the members move through the choreography. It is a clear break from the earlier Japanese-language music video, which was shot against a city backdrop.

Reactions online focused on the visuals and the difficulty of the routine. Fans wrote comments such as "the outfit change is jaw-dropping," "dancing on sand can't have been easy, but the performance is incredible," "great from start to finish," and "10 out of 10 on visuals and performance."

Alongside the performance film, AEN also rolled out new concept photos highlighting each member's expression and mood as the group continues its debut promotions.
