The Fandom
Fan Club & Fan Name 💜
Official Fan Name
NSWER (엔써)
NSWER stands for North, South, West, East, and Route — meaning that NMIXX will find the ‘route’ and the ‘answer’ together with their fans. The name was officially unveiled at the group's debut showcase on March 1, 2022.
Official Fan Color
Not officially confirmed
NMIXX has not revealed a single official fandom color to date. Instead, JYP Entertainment leaned into the ocean-and-whale motif tied to the group's debut concept, 'Ad Mare' (Latin for 'to the sea'), which carries through into the group's official lightstick design.
Official Light Stick
MIXXTICK
Released for sale in early 2023, the MIXXTICK features a whale swimming inside a transparent globe, a nod to NMIXX's oceanic 'Ad Mare' debut concept. It includes Bluetooth connectivity so NSWER can sync their lightsticks into a single wave of color during concerts and fan events.
