One K-pop girl group is “changing up” the industry, building the momentum needed to “Break the Wall” and reach far beyond Korean audiences. That group is NMIXX, who recently embarked on their first-ever world tour, EPISODE 1: ZERO FRONTIER, hitting major global stops from Madrid to Los Angeles.
Though famously known as the “little sisters of TWICE,” NMIXX has been carving out its own distinct identity since debuting four years ago. Recently, the six members, Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin, have seen a surge in international fame, particularly within Latin markets.
This global reach was shown by collaborations with Brazilian artists like Pabllo Vittar on the hit “TIC TIC” and the release of their first full-length album, Blue Valentine, which The Knockturnal previously sat down with the group to discuss.

Following the success of their debut album, the group has been on the move, visiting Europe, Mexico, and the United States before heading to Asia, showing off their one-of-a-kind performance, which rang unforgettable and truly a favorite from 2026 so far.
The Knockturnal had the chance to witness NMIXX’s powerful and unforgettable performance during their EPISODE 1: ZERO FRONTIER tour at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles on April 9th.
Before the show began, the crowd was sporting many white and blue color schemes, and NMIXX delivered a show to match. They played hits with powerful bass like “O.O” and “KNOW ABOUT ME” alongside softer notes like “Shape of Love” and the title track “Blue Valentine”.
Every song was a standout, as the six members maintained high-intensity dance and performance, from vocals to visuals and powerful movements. The show even featured a dance break with the track “High Horse,” a new addition for the tour that left jaws around us dropped.
Other fan favorites included “TANK” and “REALITY HURTS,” tracks that created immense hype in a concert setting. With fans eager for this first world tour, the roaring performance filled the night at the sold-out venue.

The girls also sported stunning fashion pieces, including beautiful white corseted outfits with black details.
This show honored the long wait NSWERs have endured and celebrated the growth NMIXX has seen since their first LA showcase and festival appearances at KCON and Wango Tango. With music that is altering the scene in an intense and fun way, this is your sign to check out NMIXX.
