- After dominating charts with their first full album, NMIXX returns with deeper, heavier lyricism
- New track “Superior” to debut at T1 Eve Festival on April 24
- Pre-release MV strategy signals overwhelming confidence in album quality
[Entertainment Desk] NMIXX is ready to reshape the landscape of global music charts.
After shaking the industry with their first full album Blue Valentine last year, the group returns with an even more refined and emotionally powerful sound.
■ May 11: The Arrival of a Deep and Powerful Heavy Serenade
According to JYP Entertainment, NMIXX will release their fifth mini album Heavy Serenade on May 11 at 6 PM.
The teaser—featuring musical staff lines and notation symbols—hints that this comeback goes beyond typical idol music, suggesting a work of artistic lyricism that elevates their musical identity. It has already begun raising anticipation among global fans.
Notably, the group is making a bold strategic move: on April 28, two weeks before the official comeback, they will pre-release the music video for the B-side track “Crescendo.”
This decision reflects NMIXX’s unmatched confidence in the album’s overall quality.
■ From Career High to Total Domination
NMIXX reached a turning point last year with their first full album Blue Valentine, sweeping charts both domestically and internationally.
- Dominated Korea’s Melon Top 100, including daily, weekly, and monthly charts
- Ranked No.1 on Billboard’s “Best K-pop Songs of 2025” and No.2 on “Best Albums” (staff picks)
- Entered the Billboard 200 and topped the “Emerging Artists” chart, appearing in a total of 10 categories
Their explosive live performances at major events such as the São Paulo Carnival in Brazil and the Viña del Mar International Song Festival further proved why they are considered one of the most powerful live acts in K-pop today.
■ Countdown Begins: A Strategic First Strike with T1
Even before their official comeback, NMIXX is making a powerful move.
On April 24, they will perform at the “Eve Festival,” the pre-event of the LCK Team Roadshow hosted by global esports powerhouse T1.
At this event, NMIXX will unveil the performance of their new track “Superior” for the very first time worldwide—effectively igniting the comeback buzz on a global scale.
More than just a comeback, NMIXX is expanding the very boundaries of K-pop’s musical spectrum.
As May 11 approaches, global attention is locked in on what kind of groundbreaking results Heavy Serenade will deliver.
