Pinoy K-pop fans' prayers were finally answered as powerhouse K-pop group NMIXX made their Philippine debut through a showcase tour titled Nice to MIXX You held at the New Frontier Theater in Cubao, Quezon City, Friday, June 30, 2023.
NMIXX is a six-member all-female group under JYP Entertainment who made their debut on February 22, 2022.
Originally, there were seven members: Haewon, Lily, Sullyon, Jinni, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin. But Jinni left the group in December 2022.

For their showcase in Manila, NMIXX opened the show with "Tank," the first track of their debut single album AD MARE.
They immediately followed it up with their debut song "O.O."
They also performed their other title tracks "Dice" and "Love Me Like This" plus their B-sides "Young, Dumb, Stupid", "Paxxword", "Home", "Just Did It", "Cool (Your Rainbow)", and "My Gosh."
As an added attraction, NMIXX also did a cover of TWICE'S "TT" and the popular dance choreography from Street Woman Fighter, "Hey Mama" by David Guetta's.
Needless to say, the dance moves and vocals of all NMIXX members were all on point proving their reputation as one of—if not the best—female groups among the fourth generation of K-pop idols. Aside from, of course, being all visuals.
The loud chants from the Pinoy NSWER, most especially the male fans who did the fan chants, is enough proof that NMIXX has what it takes to rule the concert stage.
Of course, a K-pop concert would not be complete without a member speaking in Tagalog or singing a Filipino song. In the case of NMIXX, they surprise the Pinoy NSWER by singing "Kung Ikaw Ay Masaya," the Pinoy version of the English nursery rhyme "If You're Happy And You Know It."
It's so cute how they pronounced the word "shishigla"!
After singing "My Gosh," the NMIXX members were surprised by a video prepared by the Pinoy NSWERs, who expressed their love and admiration for their favorite K-pop girl group.
"Thank You For Your Existence" was written in both English and Hangul at one point of the video.
Some members became teary-eyed as they gave their message to Filipino fans, promising to return the favor by releasing more songs and giving better performances.
NMIXX is slated to release their third single album, A Midsummer NMIXX’s Dream, with "Party O'Clock" as title track and "Roller Coaster" as B-side.
