NEXZ put out the video for “SAUCIN’” on the JYP Entertainment channel on 24 August 2026. The official description fixes the moment precisely — 6 p.m. KST, a Monday — and that hour is a convention, not a coincidence.

Six in the evening, the Korean release hour

Almost every Korean single lands at 6 p.m. local time, and the description says so in capitals. It was not always that way. For years labels released at midnight, because the domestic streaming services ran real-time charts hour by hour, and in the small hours a modest number of listeners could carry a song to the top of one. Around 2020 the main platforms retired or froze the overnight ranking, and the incentive vanished. Six became the standard instead: the end of the school and office day, with the evening still ahead.

About this release

“SAUCIN’” was published on 24 August 2026 on JYP Entertainment’s YouTube channel. The description carries no producer or featured credits, and no parent album or EP is named — only the title, the release time, a listening link and the tags. Rights are held jointly by JYP Entertainment and Sony Music Labels Inc., the arrangement NEXZ releases have carried since the group began.

Watching from outside Korea

If you want to follow a Korean release as it happens, convert the hour once and remember it: 6 p.m. KST is 10 a.m. in London, 11 a.m. in central Europe and 5 a.m. on the American east coast. The date on the video will still show in your own time zone.
