Nmixx (formerly known tentatively as JYPn) is a South Korean girl group formed by SQU4D, a sub-label of JYP Entertainment.

Name
The name Nmixx combines the letter "N", which stands for "now", "new", "next", and the unknown "n", and the word "mix", which symbolizes combination and diversity, altogether meaning "the best combination for a new era".
