Recently, NMIXX performed at the largest Latin festival, Viña del Mar, in Chile, becoming the first idol group to authentically showcase the taste of K-pop.

But NMIXX tore up the stage with their live vocals, despite being past 3 AM local time.

- “Groups that are talented need to rise up more.”
- “I watched the full video, and they aren’t using hand mics, and I thought it was interesting that I couldn’t hear any of their breathing. But looking closely, I saw that when it wasn’t their part, they would close their mouths while dancing.”
- “It’s crazy that they stop the performance if they can’t do live singing well. I wish K-Pop would do this too.”
- “They are so freaking good.”
- “Their live skills are crazy.”
