JYP Entertainment officially introduced its new girl group, NMIXX. As the girls made themselves known in a press conference, one particular member got everyone's attention and even compared to Suzy Bae.
NMIXX launched their debut album "AD Mare," with their first single "O.O." But among the group's seven members, many noticed BAE seemed to have the same voice and looks as Suzy Bae.
In an online community, netizens shared their thoughts on each new girl group's members. Sure, they all have the charm and individual characteristics, but BAE seems to stand out.
Some say the way she talks and her voice is very similar to that of the "Start-Up" star. Others even notice they look like each other in some angles, AllKpop noted.
One fan said her first greeting reminded her of Lee Min Ho's ex-girlfriend. However, another netizen claimed she also sounded like Wendy.
Meanwhile, talking about their press briefing, NMIXX discussed things about their labelmates, TWICE and ITZY, and the advice they got from JYP founder Park Jin Young, per Soompi. Lily revealed the label's boss commended her for successfully maintaining her image as the young Lily from the show "K-Pop Star."
He told her how to gain confidence on stage that she could fix during practice or when she would start her performance. Elsewhere, Jiwoo revealed ITZY inspired them with their incredible performances and watching their charisma and synchronized choreography was of a big help.
Sullyoon, in addition, admitted, she was a longtime fan of TWICE and revealed she wanted to be like them, managing to shine regardless of the place and time. Like how TWICE became her inspiration, she promised to work hard to make NMIXX inspire others.
Meanwhile, the girls revealed their goals for their debut promotions. Jinni said as this was only their start, she wanted to make her group's name and identity known all over the world.
She hoped many people would listen to their songs and watch their performances so that they could gain the fans' attention. Kyujin added that it would be best if the café they frequented would play their song.
Three years after introducing ITZY in 2019, JYP just launched NMIXX. The N in its name stands for "now, next and new," knowing "n" has an unknown value.
The added "Mix" represents the variety and best combination of things that "will take responsibility for the new generation." Aside from BAE, NMIXX has six other members, Kyujin, Jiwoo, Jinni, Sullyoon, Haewon and Lily.
