JYP Entertainment’s girl group Nmixx recently performed at Shinhan University, where the K-pop act encountered a technical mishap on the stage. Later, the K-pop act’s agency, SQU4D, released a statement clearing up the misunderstanding regarding the ‘staged’ technical mishap.
Nmixx debuted on February 22, 2022, with the single album Ad Mare. Since then, the JYP K-pop group has attracted praise for its live vocals and admirable stage performances. Recently, a fourth-generation girl group attracted criticism for lacking live vocals. But Nmixx’s performance at Shinhan University proved they could manage any situation without worrying about background filler sounds.
