NMIXX Break Previous Own Record With “Dash” — Korean Netizens React

JYP Entertainment girl group NMIXX has set a new personal record with their latest release, “Dash,” from their second mini-album Fe3O4: Break.

The song, which showcases a unique blend of old-school hip-hop and pop-funk, has received an overwhelmingly positive response, both from fans and critics alike. As described by NMIXX member Haewon, “Dash” highlights the group’s signature “MIXX POP” style, a fusion that has captivated listeners worldwide.

With “Dash,” NMIXX have achieved their highest debut on the MelOn Top 100 chart, landing at #98. This accomplishment is particularly significant, considering the track garnered over 10,000 unique listeners within just the first hour of its release.

“Dash” marks the group’s first track to debut directly in the Top 100 of the chart. The previous record for the group was set by “Love Me Like This,” which took five hours to break into the Top 100.

How long did it take for @NMIXX_official to enter into Melon's top 100:

O.O – #100 after 18 days and 6 hours
DICE – #99 after 15 hours
Young, Dumb, Stupid – #100 after 13 days and 7 hours
Love Me Like This – #99 after 5 hours

The success of “Dash” extends beyond the MelOn chart. It also made an impressive debut at #9 on Bugs — however, the song wasn’t able to break into Genie’s Top 100, reaching only #105. These achievements are indicative of the gradually growing popularity and influence of NMIXX in the K-Pop scene. Furthermore, the album Fe3O4: Break has reportedly sold over 125,700 copies, further cementing the group’s rising status in the industry.
