‘Hexagonal Girl Group’ NMIXX Kicks Off First World Tour Since Debut

Group NMIXX is embarking on their first world tour 3 years and 9 months after their debut. They kicked off the world tour over two days, on the 29th and 30th of last month, at the Incheon Inspire Arena.

NMIXX, JYP Entertainment’s 6-member girl group that debuted in February 2022, has earned the nickname ‘Hexagonal Girl Group’ for their explosive vocal skills and high-difficulty performances. They are also a growth-oriented group that has proven their momentum by drawing a steady upward curve rather than a sudden spike in popularity. This concert, the starting point of their first world tour ‘Episode 1: Zero Frontier,’ impressively sold out all shows, including additional seats.

In this concert, which signified ‘the beginning of a new frontier’ for NMIXX and their fandom NSWER, they opened with their debut song ‘O.O’ and heated up the stage by passionately singing hit songs like ‘Soñar (Breaker)’ and ‘DASH’.

Signature songs were performed in rapid succession, including ‘High Horse,’ which ranked 2nd on Billboard’s ’25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025: First Half,’ and ‘Love Me Like This,’ which achieved their first top 10 entry on Melon, Korea’s leading music chart.

The finale was adorned by their latest hit song ‘Blue Valentine,’ which is set to be a ‘career high’ for them. The title track from their first full-length album released in October, ‘Blue Valentine’ hit number 1 on the Melon Top 100 chart on the 20th of last month and stayed at the top for 31 days.

The stages performed for the first time at this concert to repay the fans’ love also drew an enthusiastic response from NSWERs. B-side tracks from their first full-length album, such as ‘Phoenix,’ ‘Reality Hurts,’ ‘Rico,’ ‘Adore You,’ and ‘Shape of Love,’ were unveiled for the first time.

The live band sound that filled both sides of the central stage further enhanced the density of the performance. NMIXX smiled brightly, saying, “Since this is the first concert for us as well as for NSWERs, we wanted to present a gift-like stage, and I think we succeeded.”

The members, who moved freely on stage and made eye contact with the NSWERs filling the seats, couldn’t hold back their emotions and shed tears on this day, just as they did on the first day’s concert. The tears shed on stage contained the weight of three years and the growth they have achieved.

Lily conveyed her deep affection for music and her sincere feelings for the fans. She said, “It’s been 3 years since we debuted. There were difficult moments, but thanks to NSWERs, I could always endure. I hope you’ll be proud of me no matter what stage I’m on.”

Sullyoon shared her feelings with a candid confession amidst her nervousness. “I was as excited as the day before a school trip. I’m disappointed that I made many mistakes, but the love from NSWERs makes me want to do even better,” she said with a smile. Haewon pledged, “You are the ones who made it possible for me to live the life I dreamed of. I will become a singer you can be proud of wherever you go.”

On this day, NMIXX performed a setlist of 27 songs over 160 minutes, showcasing their overwhelming live skills and performances. It was a stage that clearly showed the status of NMIXX, who have completed their transformation into performance-oriented artists through explosive growth over the past 3 years and 9 months.

NMIXX said, “Thank you for walking with us. We were very worried because it was our first concert, but thanks to you, we were able to do it well.” They concluded with a final greeting, “We will go further and higher so that NSWERs can be proud. We will finish the tour in good health and return.”
