Nmixx (Korean: 엔믹스; RR: Enmikseu; MR: Enmiksŭ, stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by SQU4D, a division of JYP Entertainment. The group is composed of six members: Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin. Originally a seven-piece group, Jinni departed from the lineup on December 9, 2022, for personal reasons.

Nmixx debuted on February 22, 2022, with the single album Ad Mare. In 2023, the group released their first extended play Expérgo and its single "Love Me Like This", which peaked at number 11 on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart. Nmixx's debut studio album Blue Valentine was released in October 2025 to commercial success. The album's lead single became their first number-one song on the Circle Digital Chart, spending four weeks at the top spot.

Name

The name Nmixx combines the letter "N", which stands for "now", "new", "next", and the unknown "n", and the word "mix", which symbolizes combination and diversity, altogether meaning "the best combination for a new era".

On July 9, 2021, JYP Entertainment announced a new girl group would be debuting in February 2022, its first since Itzy in 2019. From July 16 to 25, JYP Entertainment made pre-orders available for a limited edition of the group's debut package, titled Blind Package, which included the group's debut album and album-related materials. The members were revealed through various dance videos and song covers from August 6 to November 19 (in order: Jinni, Jiwoo, Kyujin, Sullyoon, Bae, Haewon, and Lily).

On January 26, 2022, JYP Entertainment announced the group's name to be Nmixx, until then tentatively called JYPn. On February 2, it was announced that they would debut on February 22 with the release of Ad Mare. On February 18, JYP Entertainment announced that the group's debut showcase, originally scheduled for February 22, would be postponed to March 1 after group member Bae tested positive for COVID-19. Nmixx collaborated with the DreamWorks Animation's Gabby's Dollhouse to release the Korean version of "Hey Gabby!", alongside the B-side "Sprinkle Party", on May 2. They also participated in Project Ribbon's Summer Vacation Project, along with Fromis 9 and Oh My Girl Banhana, to cover Rainbow's "Kiss", from their 2009 debut EP Gossip Girl. The song was released on July 31.

On September 19, Nmixx released their second single album Entwurf alongside the lead single "Dice". The group released their first "Intermixxion" single (described by JYP as a special track dropped as a standalone track inbetween official releases) and first Christmas song, "Funky Glitter Christmas", on November 23. On December 9, JYP Entertainment announced that Jinni had terminated her contract with the company due to personal reasons, and had departed from the group, while Nmixx would continue as a six-member ensemble.

On February 19, 2025, it was announced that Nmixx would be releasing their fourth extended play Fe3O4: Forward on March 17. The pre-release single "High Horse" was released on March 4. On February 24, the group made a surprise appearance at the 2025 Viña del Mar Festival in Viña del Mar, Chile. On March 8, Nmixx was announced to be part of the lineup for the iHeartRadio Wango Tango festival on May 10 at the Huntington Beach. On April 27, Nmixx became the first K-pop girl group to throw the first pitch and perform at the Taipei Dome. On June 4, it was announced that Nmixx would be holding their first official fan meeting Nswer Vacation, on July 12 at the Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul. On September 15, JYP Entertainment announced that Nmixx's first studio album Blue Valentine would release on October 13, with the lead single of the same name. On October 14, it was announced that Nmixx would be embarking on their first world tour Episode 1: Zero Frontier, kicking off on November 29 and 30 at the Inspire Arena in Incheon. In November, the group was announced as headliners of the 2026 Viña del Mar Festival, which takes place in February, after attending the previous version; Nmixx will become the first ever K-pop group to perform in the festival.

Artistry

Gladys Yeo of NME described Nmixx as "vocal powerhouses", describing their vocal skills as "unparalleled" within their generation of K-Pop. Likewise, Mary Siroky of Consequence said that Nmixx "often" delivers "great vocal performances". Despite the praise towards their vocals, Nmixx's signature style of music, termed "Mixxpop" or "Mixx Pop" (stylized in all caps), has been controversial.

Taylor Glasby of Dazed said that Nmixx's debut single, "O.O", had "choppy arrangement" and "loosely structured lyrics", making note of the fact that ten lyricists were credited for the track. Glasby wrote that the song created "the biggest ruckus of 2022 [...] across the entire breadth of the K-pop community". Lily said that the reception towards the song was "sometimes sad and hard to read about," but also stated that "mixed opinions are better than no opinions". Writing for Mnet Plus Magazine, Park Soojin said that Mixxpop was less accessible to the public due to "combining vastly different genres into a single song". Both Yeo and Park said that Nmixx's 2023 EP Expérgo offered a more public-friendly version of Mixxpop.

Endorsements

In September 2022, Nmixx were appointed global ambassadors of Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe. Before the announcement, they appeared on the July 2022 cover of Harper's Bazaar Korea in Loewe's Fall 2022 pre-collection. In December 2023, they modelled for the brand's Spring/Summer 2023 pre-collection campaign. In March 2023, they represented the brand in their attendance of Paris Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week.

In July 2023, Nmixx became the muse of ReFa Heart Brush, a product by Japanese beauty brand ReFa, which was featured in their music video for "Party O'Clock". They collaborated with the brand in the digital cover of the August 2023 issue of Cosmopolitan Korea.
