NMIXX Makes a Global Splash with ‘High Horse’
Rookie girl group NMIXX is galloping into history—literally. On June 21 (local time), Billboard released its list of ‘The 25 Best K-pop Songs of 2025 (So Far),’ and NMIXX’s moody, genre-blending track ‘High Horse’ soared into the No. 2 spot.
Why ‘High Horse’ Stands Out
Featured on their fourth EP ‘Fe3O4: FORWARD’, the song drew praise for its minimalistic yet dynamic buildup. Billboard highlighted the group’s ability to blend tension and release through soaring vocals and intricate storytelling. “The track ends in an emotional crescendo that packs a cathartic punch, with lyrics offering warmth and resilience,” the outlet wrote. “It’s a proud, sonic declaration of identity.”
NMIXX continues to pioneer their unique sound coined as ‘MIXX POP’—a daring combo of multiple genres mashed into one track. Their experimental approach has been winning over fans who crave both innovation and strong vocals.
From Fans to Front Rows: First Fan Meeting & Concert News
Keeping the momentum going, NMIXX recently met with fans at their first-ever fan meeting, ‘NSWER VACATION’, held on July 12 at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul. With two sold-out sessions, it was a full-blown celebration of their fandom, NSWERs (their official fan club).
The group capped off the event with a mic-drop moment—announcing their first solo concert, scheduled for November 29 and 30. Cue the screams.
The Takeaway
NMIXX’s fearless genre-hopping and stellar vocal delivery are officially Billboard-certified—and they’re just getting started. With growing international buzz and a major show on the horizon, 2025 just might be NMIXX’s breakout year.
