NMIXX 'AD MARE': Release date, tracks, debut showcase, all about JYP rookies 1st album
The debut of JYP Entertainment’s NMIXX is one of the highly anticipated K-pop debuts and all credit goes to the label for hyping the group up so much, ahead of their official reveal. The label had released their limited edition ‘Blind Package’ without even revealing the members of NMIXX (previously JYPn) — a successful strategy.
JYP Entertainment, one of the ‘Big 3’ labels of K-pop, seemed to have nailed the rookie group launch, with NMIXX selling approximately 60,000 copies of ‘Blind Package’ in July of 2021, way ahead of the official debut. Now, as the group gears towards its debut, the group is facing multiple challenges like member Bae testing positive for Covid-19 that has, in turn, postponed their debut showcase as well as the alleged leaking of their debut title track, ‘O.O’. Despite these challenges, NMIXX is still heading towards its big debut with their first single album dropping on the same day.
