History Music / NMixx

* LaserBlade: Two of the girls' golf clubs turn into lightsabers in the "Young, Dumb, Stupid" video.

* CuddleBug: Discussed by the other members and shown in live performances and vlogs, Jiwoo is one to a near extreme. She's most likely to attach herself to Bae or Kyujin, although she began to gravitate towards Sullyoon following Jinni's departure (Sullyoon and Jinni were known to be close). Jiwoo has also been caught more than once trying to kiss the other members' cheeks but stopping before contact... except with Bae.

* MatureYoungerSibling: Although Kyujin is the youngest of the group, she has demonstrated in many of NMIXX's vlogs to be an extremely responsible and prepared person. She is also considered by many fans as the unofficial "main dancer" of the group. This perception is validated by Haewon during their one on one episode of the "Tingle Salon", where Haewon expresses appreciation for Kyujin being the "dance leader" since their debut.

** Jinni's is a nickname derived from her given name, Yunjin.

NMIXX is a [[KoreanPopMusic South Korean]] {{Idol|Singer}} [[GirlGroup Unit]] created by JYP Entertainment and managed by its subdivision, [=SQU4D=]. While the group's genesis traces back to Summer 2021 when its respective social media sites were registered and the company began teasing the public, they made their official debut on February 22nd 2022 with the song "O.O". They are the first Korean girl-group JYPE unveiled since Music/{{ITZY}}, which debuted three years earlier almost to the day.[[labelnote:*]] Amusingly, Lily and Haewon are older than ITZY's ''maknae'' Yuna. Lily has expressed amusement that Yuna still calls her "unnie" (Korean for "big sis" amongst girls). Worth noting JYPE debuted Music/{{NiziU}} in between ITZY and NMIXX, but [=NiziU=] is a Japanese group.[[/labelnote]]

The group initially debuted with seven members. However, on December 9th, 2022, JYPE abruptly announced that member Jinni had left NMIXX and her contract with the company was terminated due to undisclosed reasons. She redebuted in Fall 2023 under a different agency as a soloist.

* CoverVersion: Their song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiSmwzPZOOo "Kiss"]] is a cover version of the same song by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6rilOQVcpM Rainbow]].

* GratuitousEnglish: They're a K-Pop group, so expect nothing less. However, since Lily is a native Anglophone, her English lines typically avert this.

In addition to their base-breaking debut, the group is known amongst K-Pop fans for their extremely strong stage presence even as rookies, serving stable live vocals even when performing intense, hard-hitting dance moves. The group's ''maknae'' (youngest member) Kyujin is also notable for being quite young for a debutee, still 15 and in middle school when their first single was recorded and released. As of 2023 she's the youngest female idol active at JYPE.[[labelnote:*]] She took the title from Music/{{NiziU}}'s Nina Hillman who was born in February 2005, over a year before Kyujin. Jiwoo is also younger than Nina but only by a few weeks.[[/labelnote]]

* [[TheLeader Haewon]] / 해원 (Oh Haewon, born February 25, 2003)

* Bae / 배이 (Bae Jinsol, born December 28, 2004)
* Jiwoo / 지우 (Kim Jiwoo, born April 13, 2005)
* Kyujin / 규진 (Jang Kyujin, born May 26, 2006)

* Jinni / 지니 (Choi Yunjin, born April 16, 2004)

!!Tropes applying to NMIXX include:

* SleepyHead: Sullyoon is one, and the other members ''love'' ribbing her for it. Bae has said Sullyoon regularly sleeps through her alarms so someone has to physically wake her up.

* TeenIdol: Oh so much. Every member but one was still in high school as JYPE teased their debut – the exception is ''maknae'' Kyujin who was in middle school. Shortly after debut – and Haewon's 19th birthday – the group's official channel posted graduation blogs for Lily & Haewon (high school) and Kyujin.

* LyricalColdOpen: "DASH" cold opens with Lily saying "Dash, I wanna dash, I wanna run it."

* ''expérgo'' (March 20, 2023)
* ''[=Fe3O4:BREAK=]'' (January 15, 2024)

* BlindWithoutEm: Haewon openly admits her eyesight is terrible and has been basically all her life. Fans managed to find a video from when she was in elementary school (she took part in an English-speaking competition) and wore very thick glasses. She has said half-jokingly she won't wear her glasses on-camera until ''eight years'' post-debut. She did ''briefly'' put on one pair of her glasses during a 2023 "Nice To MIXX You" Vlog shot during their American showcase tour but said she didn't like how small they made her eyes look.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Haewon uses a bilingual one for some of her livestreams, entitled "Monthly 5️⃣☀️1️⃣". The number five is pronounced "oh" in Korean, sun is "hae", and "1" uses the English pronunciation, thus being her full name "Oh Haewon".

* ShrinkingViolet: Discussed. Sullyoon is the only member who took the MBTI test and ''didn't'' rank as some level of extrovert. She doesn't talk much and rarely takes part in the other members' chaotic moments. Comparisons to TWICE's Tzuyu (for both this and looks) abound. In a bit of irony, she said her favorite TWICE member is Sana, for a long time that group's ''only'' true extrovert.[[note]] Jihyo had tested as an introvert for years but retested as ESFP in late 2022. This made Sana, whose clinginess towards Jihyo is legendary, very happy. Sana was even happier to learn that Sullyoon biases her.[[/note]]

* StageNames: Lily pointed out that every member of the "‘04 Line" uses an actual stage name instead of the usual standard of just going mononymously by their given name. Inverted with Lily herself, who uses a native Korean name – "Park Jin" – as her legal name while in Korea.[[note]] It's not uncommon for East Asian countries to require citizens adopt a native name; Japan does it too. Through her Korean mother, Lily automatically had South Korean nationality at birth. "Jin" is Lily's middle name, derived from her mother's given name Jinhyi (진희); "Park" is her mother's maiden name. Yes, Haewon has poked fun at the similarity of Lily's Korean name to JYP's.[[/note]]

* CallBack: One of Jinni's lines in "DICE" name-checks their first song "O.O" in its lyrics.
-->''O.O I’m stoked''

** The third track on ''expérgo'' is titled "PAXXWORD" -- pronounced "password", of course.

** "DASH" sees the song go from old-school hip-hop to pop punk for its bridge before transitioning back for its final chorus.

* ToTheTuneOf: The chorus of "Young, Dumb, Stupid" is sung to the tune of children's song "Frère Jacques".

** Jinni and Bae invoked this when they held a livestream titled "We Are Seoul Girls Who Speak In Seoul Dialect". This would seem completely normal if not for the fact that they are (or were in Jinni's case) the only members who did not hail from anywhere ''near'' Seoul.[[note]] Jinni's hometown is Busan, which is located on Korea's southeastern coast, literally closer to Japan than to Seoul (which is in the central-west of the peninsula), while Bae was born in Yangsan, a city bordering Busan to the southeast.[[/note]]

** During their first American Showcase Tour, Haewon brought an ''entire baggie full of Americano packets'' just in case she wasn't able to get her fix. [[{{Irony}} Note that their first stop]] was UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}}, America's coffee capital.
* NeverBareheaded: A downplayed example. Jiwoo often (though not always) wears cool hats during performances, such as the ArtsyBeret in the photo at the top of this page for the "O.O" MV, or a wide-brimmed hat in their cover performance of Stray Kids' "Thunderous" at KCON, or a beanie.

** "BOOM" sees it last chorus transition from minimalist hip-hop to house, with its tempo ratcheting up significantly.

* SongStyleShift: This is evidently a key part of "mixxpop", the group's signature sound, with songs switching genre and tempo at the drop of a hat (typically after the first chorus) and then changing ''again'' near the end.
** "O.O" starts off as extremely heavy EDM before abruptly jumping to pop-rock and then jumping ''back'' to the first style for the ending. Its tempo also drops from 133 beats-per-minute down to 100. The near total lack of transition between the radically different styles, especially in the music video (the studio/live cut lacks the long pause and as a result has ''some'' transition), is the main reason for critical backlash against the song.

** "Soñar (Breaker)", after two releases in a row of no overt Mixxpop, doubles down on their original style by going from UK garage to Latin pop and back again, lyrically announcing BOTH transitions.

In addition to their base-breaking debut, the group is known amongst K-Pop fans for their extremely strong stage presence even as rookies, serving stable live vocals even when performing intense, hard-hitting dance moves. The group's ''maknae'' (youngest member) Kyujin is also notable for being quite young for a debutee, still 15 and in middle school when their first single was recorded and released. As of 2023 she's the youngest female Idol active at JYPE.[[labelnote:*]] She took the title from Music/{{NiziU}}'s Nina Hillman who was born in February 2005, over a year before Kyujin. Jiwoo is also younger than Nina but only by a few weeks.[[/labelnote]]

** The genre of the group's title songs is called "Mixxpop". See SongStyleShift below for more explanation.

* MeaningfulName: Their second EP, ''[=Fe₃O₄:BREAK=]'' starts with the chemical formula for magnetite, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the most magnetic naturally occurring mineral on Earth]] (and what clued humans in to the concept of magnetism to begin with), which the group in its lore intends to break apart by force.

** "DICE" has a similar shift in style and tempo, going so far as to ''announce the first transition in its lyrics'' (a not-so-subtle jab at those who complained about "O.O")
** "Soñar (Breaker)", after two releases in a row of no overt Mixxpop, doubles down on their original style and lyrically announces BOTH transitions.

* SingerNameDrop: Jinni outright shouts "NMIXX!" right before the abrupt tempo/style change in "O.O". She did a similar thing in "DICE", where she says "NMIXX, change up, let's go!" after the first chorus, announcing the song's transition, then towards the end the entire group shouts "We NMIXX!". Many fans were quick to consider this as the group's trademark, to the point that they were surprised when "Love Me Like This" ''didn't'' feature one of these.
** After Jinni's departure from the group, these parts were given to Jiwoo.
