**NMIXX** (Hangul: 엔믹스; Japanese: エンミックス; known pre-debut as **JYPn**) is a six-member South Korean girl group under JYP Entertainment, and the first JYP Entertainment group to have a lore and a unique universe concept. Originally as seven, they debuted on February 22, 2022 with the single album *AD MARE*.

## Name Meaning

The name NMIXX is a compound word of the letter '**N**', which stands for "now, next, new, and the unknown," and the word '**MIX**', which symbolizes combination and diversity. When combined, the word NMIXX is created, which stands for "the best combination to take responsibility for a new era."

## History

### 2021–2022: Pre-debut

On July 8, 2021, SNS accounts for 'JYPn' were opened and a teaser titled "BLIND PACKAGE" was revealed. The next day, another teaser was released, containing the phrase "Your Next Favorite Girl Group". Rumors began circulating that JYP Entertainment was planning to debut a new girl group. Later that day, JYP Entertainment confirmed the rumors, revealing the group's debut was slated for February 2022. Simultaneously, it was announced that a limited edition physical release of the group's first single would be available for purchase during a ten day pre-order period from July 16 through July 25.

On August 3, a dance performance video posted on the group's official accounts revealed its first three members: Jini, Jiwoo, and Kyujin. Exactly a month later, on September 3, Sullyoon was revealed as the fourth member through a vocal cover of Sunmi's song "Full Moon".

On October 1, JYP Entertainment announced that JYPn would be entering the second part of its pre-debut promotion project. A week later, on October 8, fifth member Bae was revealed through a vocal cover of Dua Lipa's song "Break My Heart". Less than a month later, on November 5, Haewon was revealed as the sixth member through a cover of Stephanie Poetri's "I Love You 3000". On November 9, Lily was introduced as the seventh and final member with a cover of Bruno Mars' "Finesse."

On January 26, 2022, JYP Entertainment released a video titled "NICE TO MIXX YOU", revealing that the group would be called **NMIXX**. Simultaneously, the group's social media accounts were opened.

On February 22, the single album, along with its title track "O.O", were released.

During their debut showcase on March 1, the group announced that their official fandom name will be known as "NSWER".

On November 11, a teaser poster was posted which revealed that NMIXX will be releasing their second digital single, "Funky Glitter Christmas". It was released on November 23 as the first "INTERMIXXION" single, a special track that serves as a standalone single between official releases.

On December 9, 2022, JYP Entertainment announced that Jini would be departing from NMIXX due to personal reasons and her contract with the agency had been terminated.
