NMIXX have never claimed to be going with the flow. From the jump, this six-member group has been defined by an edgy fearlessness — their 2022 debut song, “O.O,” was divisive, offbeat, and, most of all, conversation-generating.
Now two years into their story as NMIXX, Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin seem more comfortable than ever in that space. It’s not that they’ve distanced themselves from tempo changes, genre blending, or unexpected beat drops — it’s more that they’ve settled into it.
“We’re starting to show our sharper, more radiant sides to the world,” observes Haewon.
The group is now back with a new EP, Fe304: STICK OUT, which features a music video for the focus track, “See That?” Watch the video below, and read on for insights about the album and reflections from NMIXX about their evolving team dynamic.
