NMIXX has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by becoming the first K-pop girl group to be featured on NPR Music's main YouTube channel with their 'Tiny Desk Korea' performance. This special video, unveiled in September 2024, highlights the group's exceptional vocal talents, featuring members Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin.

'Tiny Desk Korea' is a live concert series inspired by NPR's 'Tiny Desk Concert,' offering a platform for musicians and bands to perform in an intimate setting.

Following the overwhelming support, NPR Music uploaded the video to its original channel on the morning of the 6th, marking NMIXX's debut on the platform. Fans flooded the comments with praise, highlighting the group's harmony, the essence of their artistry, and the global appeal of K-pop. NMIXX continues to expand their presence on the global stage, with their participation in the Billboard Latin Music Week as the first K-pop artist last October. Their journey into 2025 is highly anticipated by fans and industry watchers alike.
