The South Korean girl group NMIXX celebrated the love they have received from Latin America for K-pop and encouraged regional artists to pursue more collaborations ahead of their debut at the Viña del Mar International Festival in Chile on February 23. This festival is renowned for being the largest musical event in Latin America, and NMIXX's participation marks a historic first, as it will be the first K-pop band to perform at this prestigious venue. The event aims to modernize its audience and attract new fans by incorporating diverse music styles, including K-pop.

The members of NMIXX, comprising Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin, expressed excitement about experiencing the energy of the audience known as 'Monstruo' at the Quinta Vergara during the festival. They described their participation as a dream come true and emphasized the warmth and authenticity of the love expressed by the Chilean audience. The group is looking forward to performing in front of such a passionate crowd and hopes to bridge cultural gaps through music.

NMIXX's presence at Viña del Mar is a significant milestone not only for the group but also for the K-pop genre in general, highlighting the growing influence and acceptance of Korean music in South America. As more K-pop acts make inroads into Latin American markets, the potential for collaborations between K-pop artists and local performers looks promising. NMIXX's debut is seen as a pivotal moment that could pave the way for further interactions between the two music cultures, opening doors for future musical partnerships.
