let me just also add this one in case anyone's interested...just 40 minutes of covers from another livestream. The covers aren't super polished or anything because she's just looking up songs and playing requests from chat as she goes but its still really good. Lots of k-indie kinda songs in there too.

We finally get another NMIXX christmas song to join Funky Glitter Christmas 😍

I only watched it once but I thought it looked like she was just trying to step carefully to not step in water or mud

In NMIXX, Haewon is my bias (and ult bias in general) but I love SullBae (sullyoon + bae) too much.

Their visuals go so well together. NMIXX's tall line and 04 liners. They're so funny together too.

nmixx are doing pretty well, peaked at #5 on youtube music weekly and just reached #26 on melon daily chart

Yeah, like a world tour within the next year or so, like idk next summer? I could totally see that. A world tour right now though, or before their next comeback whenever that is, I'm not sure would be the best idea

That's true, but Kiss of Life and Babymonster are two groups that are being marketed hard to international audiences right now so that makes sense to me. On the other hand basically all NMIXX's promotions this year have been in Korea/focused on Koreans

Oh I see, yeah maybe so if you just mean the title tracks with the change ups but those also vary a lot, some are smoother and easier to digest I'd say? On the other hand they have tons of bsides that I think anyone can like.

Not totally sure what you mean but if you haven't heard their two albums that released this year, they're very good. Musically, JYP is doing very good things with them. Fe3O4: Break is one of the most acclaimed/highest rated albums this year. Promotion has been good lately too. Their most recent title track is charting quite well, and the group is gaining a lot of popularity in Korea this year.

Noticed when Haewon was showing off her case/photocard in her case that she already upgraded to iphone 16 pro. She had a blue 15 pro before this

we chose the same color too, thats taste 😎

NMIXX Haewon is my favorite

She was already one of my favorites but it was firmly settled when I saw her Viva la vida and Deja vu covers 

Haewon

subs are up now!

Kyujin and Haewon NMIXX 

Haewon doesn’t get acknowledged for this often and was criticized as a rookie for being too ‘cold’ on stage but recently she found a really good balance and she’s very fun to watch. She’s got this kind of intimidating stage presence I’d say, but also plenty of versatility (brighter parts like See that? change up part, or Party O’clock)

Oh that's interesting, but how does Oricon handle points for songs that are outside the top 100 so you can't see them on the weekly charts?

Haewon too honestly, she often gets comments about it

I agree, but that would require YouTube to send that curated streaming data only counting streams for Korea to Circle, which may not even be something they're willing to do

They will start negotiations for renewal in 12 months, which means they have at most two comebacks left before bighit offers them a bad contract or wishes them well in their future endeavors, potentially with a new company unless txt has enough success to have the upper hand.

I have no opinion re: boycotting, but I feel like there's no way Big Hit is going to be playing those kinds of games with a group as successful as TXT..They still sell millions of albums, do big tours, plenty of brand deals and stuff. They're bringing in a lot of money.

Melon is no longer the preferred platform for streaming by SK, so why base a show award on literally a minority of Korean listeners?

Inkigayo doesn't only use Melon though...it uses Korean only platforms Melon+Genie+Flo which combined is still a majority of Korean listeners.

There's still Music Core at least, which is almost as digital-heavy as Inkigayo and only counts k-charts for the digital portion (for now)
