May 19, 2023 | by Nobelle Borines

Girl group NMIXX has successfully completed their showcase tour across eight U.S. cities, further solidifying their status as the 'Fourth Generation All-Rounder K-Pop Girl Group.'

NMIXX, a new girl group under JYP Entertainment, held their first solo showcase tour, 'NICE TO MIXX YOU,' across 13 overseas locations within roughly a year of their debut. Starting on May 2 in Seattle, followed by performances in San Jose, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Brooklyn, the group connected with local audiences in each city. Shows in Seattle, San Jose, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington all sold out, which brought to life the fervor of local fans who had been eagerly waiting for NMIXX.

The group ensured that their showcase tour was packed with high-energy performances, living up to their reputation as the 'Top-Tier Fourth Generation K-Pop Girl Group.' They showcased a spectrum of their music, including their debut song 'O.O', the title track 'DICE' from their second single, and their latest hit 'Love Me Like This.' They also performed B-side tracks and covers of popular songs like David Guetta's 'Hey Mama' and TWICE's 'TT', delivering mesmerizing performances that kept the audience fully engaged.

On the final day of their North American showcase tour in Brooklyn, the members expressed their gratitude to the fans. "We're overwhelmed with emotions as we conclude NMIXX's first North American showcase tour. We are genuinely grateful to our fans for their unwavering support," they said. Their heartfelt sentiments were shared alongside member LILY shedding tears of joy.

Furthermore, on May 16, members LILY, Haewon, Seolyun, BAE, Jiwoo, and Kyujin appeared on the popular U.S. talk show 'Good Day New York' on FOX5, performing 'Love Me Like This.' Despite it being their first overseas television appearance since their debut, they captured the attention of local viewers with their skilled performance.

Continuing the heat of their overseas showcase tour, NMIXX is set to perform in Bangkok, Jakarta, Taipei, Singapore, and Manila starting from June 4. The Taipei show, originally scheduled for June 18, was quickly sold out, prompting an additional show on June 19 in response to the fans' enthusiastic support. This tour, consisting of 14 shows across 13 locations, signals NMIXX's bright global future.

The group reached new career heights with their first mini-album 'expérgo', released on March 20. They made their first appearance on the main Billboard 200 chart on April 8, placing 122nd, while their title track 'Love Me Like This' climbed to the 4th position on Melon's 'Top 100,' receiving great love from fans.
