Netizens are shocked after NMIXX received “Hate” for singing live without a backing track.
Since debuting, NMIXX has been known and praised for their live vocals, even singing live while filming their dance practice videos.
Recently, a new video with NMIXX was released and at one point, the members start singing and dancing without a backing track.
When the clip was posted, it quickly went viral online.

Sadly, when the video was posted, there was a flood of negative and suspicious comments under the tweet. Many thought that JYP Entertainment was trying to “find” a way to make NMIXX go viral by taking advantage of the discourse on idols singing live.
Yes, you can sing. Like DAMN we got it for the first time https://t.co/JvN8322mS3

JYP just doing too much to go viral, it’s giving me second hand embarrassment 😭 Groups who sing live just sing live and that’s it. https://t.co/QSDwZZJvXY

sm groups esp the girls are damn talented but not that desperate to shove their vocals down to people’s throat every single day with different videos. Like yeah we get it the idols can sing and we used to it, and move on? https://t.co/9MimXTkt8U

SM groups don’t have to constantly fish for viral moments, they have nothing to prove. This is only annoying because everyone knows nmixx can sing, that’s not where they need the clout points so it’s annoying to see JYP not putting in effort where they are actually lacking https://t.co/YKR504OSgW

Netizens were quick to defend the girls, claiming that it was stupid that NMIXX were being “dragged” for being good at their job of being idols and that the group has always prided themselves on their live vocals. Others shared that it wasn’t a viral moment being staged but a video for EA SPORTS FC.
sorry but nmixx getting hate for being good at their job is hilarious considering they do shit like this since day 1 i thought kpop stans were begging for vocal groups to be on a rise again or are they only good enough when they come from sm? much to think about https://t.co/UGmFfXS6x3

It’s a shame that NMIXX are being called out for apparently “trying too hard” when it’s just their job.
