NMIXX Unplugged: An Up-Close Look at the Future of K-pop Music

Whenever you find a K-pop group that breaks the mold and provides something unanticipatedly great, you sort of stop and listen. Such is the case with NMIXX, the hot girl group coming from JYP Entertainment sub-label SQU4D. They have shaken K-pop since their debut in February 2022 with their distinctive sound and innovative audacity. NMIXX has six members: LILY, BAE, SULLYOON, HAEWON, KYUJIN and JIWOO. Together they represent an experimental yet engaging wave of K-pop which cann’t help but be drawn into their world.

The Meaning Behind NMIXX 

NMIXX isn’t just a random collection of letters; It is a meaningful name which reflects the group’s essence and ambitions. The letter N means now, “new,” next, “and a mysterious” N “for unknown, and mix stands for combination and diversity. And so next time you hear NMIXX, think “best combination for a new era.” It is an ambitious concept, yet one which beautifully describes their approach to artistry and music. They have named their sound MIXX POP. MIXX POP combines two or more genres on one track – producing music which does not fit neatly into any boxes. This particular genre-bending method demonstrates their willingness to redefine K-pop as it is.

The Unforgettable “O.O” and AD MARE Era 

One of the very first occasions to hear NMIXX’s new sound was because of their first single, AD MARE (lead track “O.O.”), which defined MIXX POP as merging elements of baile funk and teen pop rock. That daring mix yielded a song that entertains and surprises with every beat. The music video for “O.O.” saw over twenty million views within 24 hours. This type of response is rare even in fast-paced K-pop where visibility is able to make or break brand new artists. Along with remaining online, “O.O.” charted at No71 on the Billboard Global Chart (without the U.S.) and No138 on the Billboard Global 200. This was not an isolated success either, since their album AD MARE sold over 220,000 copies within its 1st week and established a new standard for female bands in K-pop. This debut was much more than a musical introduction – it was a declaration that NMIXX was here to stay.
