International Fans Hit Back At NMIXX’s Korean Fans After “2024 ISAC” Controversy
NMIXX was recently criticized for allegedly neglecting fans at the recent 2024 Idol Star Athletic Championship. Fans had gone to see them at the arena but came back disappointed with the lack of interactions. A tweet complaining about the experience quickly went viral on social media. According to one NSWER who had been on site, the girls barely came over to say hi to the fans.
제가 씨큐님 팬매님 말 잘 듣는 착한 엔써인 게 아니라 진실로 찍은 영상이 없어요 팬석쪽에 도무지 오질 않으셔서 ~ 😅 분명 엔믹스 보러 갓는데 다른 아이돌을 더 많이 봣네요 … 저희가 뭐 호화로운 역조공 달랫나요 그냥 우리 보러 와 주는 게 그리 힘들엇나요 죄송해요이런말하고싶지않앗는데 https://t.co/7bRxXRAsXQ

It’s not that I was an angelic fan who listened to the guards [and didn’t take videos], but I had nothing to film, because they really didn’t come over to where the fans were seated. I went to see NMIXX, but I ended up seeing more of other idols… Did we ask you for extravagant fan gifts? We just wanted you guys to come over to see us. Was that so hard? I’m sorry, I didn’t want to say this. And honestly, what I was more upset about than anything was how the MC definitely told the artists to greet their fans one last time before everyone left, but NMIXX just left like that. I thought that I must’ve missed it, but actually they just didn’t come over… Yeah.

On the other hand, international fans have been hitting back at Korean fans for complaining about their experience. They defended the girls, claiming that they must have been tired preparing for their upcoming comeback.
Just because you’re going to see an artist who you see often does not mean they owe you anything. Please remember you’re there to support them, not bring them down for having low energy and being tired due to comeback promotions… https://t.co/wem4SN16ap

Fans were also upset that the girls had to apologize over the matter. Both Kyujin and Sullyoon issued apologies on Dear U. Bubble. Kyujin explained that the girls had been tired due to their comeback preparation.
Our NSWERs, you guys worked so hard. Thank you and I’m sorry. Hope you guys get home safe. And to be honest, we have not been able to sleep properly recently. We are working hard to prepare for the comeback, and I guess we weren’t able to focus well today as a whole… Should I say that today was quite a pity?

Sullyoon has also apologized for the matter through Dear U. Bubble. You can read her apology below.
