This is my first time acting in this kind of role, so I enjoyed it a lot.”

《#2 Do Re Mi Fa So🎶》

There is a boy band audition audition survival called THE IDOL BAND : BOY’S BATTLE which Yong hwa plays a part in it as a producer. “I’ve never produced for other artists.

He asked if the fans were there as well. He mentioned that he had a new goal recently and its to hold a concert at that same venue that JJ Lin had held his concert at which is the Central Harbourfront Event Space.

JJ Lin said that Yong Hwa, “You can definitely do it, I’ll give you courage!” when he told JJ that he want to held a concert at the same venue. Yong Hwa also mentioned “ I would love to enjoy the view of the ferries wheel while performing at such an amazing performance venue. I think i can do it if you guys still here~”

It was raining heavily that day during the JJ Lin concert in Hong Kong. Yong Hwa thought it would be cancelled and he might need to go back. But he was really lost as he really want to perform and it has been sometime since he visited Hong Kong.

But when the show began, it stopped raining. So he hope that when its was his turn, please give him lots of support and hope so he can perform there as well.

《#4 Boice❤️》

Q&A time

Question : “Can’t drink coffee for 1 week vs Can’t eat Beijing duck for 1 year”

YH: All the same, I will choose coffee. I need to drink coffee everyday. If i can’t eat Beijing duck, i will eat BBQ pork(燒乳豬) because it is more expensive.

Question :”Asking for 2 ticket of Hong Kong concert”

YH: I think I need to think about this. This is not a question, is a request.

Question : “You were the first person to let me know K-pop, love K-pop and know Korean. Thank you.”

YH: I am happy when I hear this type of works.我聽到這些話 我感到很開心。I will be your last kpop artist.

Question: Yong Hwa, When will you comeback?”

YH : I have prepared a lot of songs for comeback. Many good songs, so I need to decide use which song. Will comeback as soon as possible.

The name NMIXX combines the letter “N”, which stands for “now”, “new”, “next” and the unknown “n”, and the word “mix”, which symbolizes combination and diversity, altogether meaning “the best combination for a new era”.

It blends in two or more genres into one flavourful song and represents the unusual experiment of NMIXX. “O.O” is a reinterpretation of baile funk and the track leads the listeners to the world of MIXX POP.

After the start of promotions, the MV of “O.O” surpassed 20 million views in the first 24 hours of its release. The song entered the Billboard Global Chart (excluding U.S.) at No. 71, and also ranked No. 138 on Billboard Global 200. Meanwhile AD MARE sold over 220K copies in the first week, recorded the highest debut album sales by a girl group ever in K pop history.

NMIXX successfully created new world for itself in their sophomore single ENTWURF. With the title track “DICE”, which is another MIXX POP track, NMIXX proved why they are the best combination for a new era. ENTWURF sold over 500K copies and “DICE” was ranked at No. 155 on Billboard Global 200 Chart.

NMIXX won ‘Favourite New Artist’ at the 2022 MAMA Awards which is awarded to K-pop artist who sold over one million records in 2022.
