The group NMIXX has embarked on their first solo tour in four years since their debut. Their first world tour, "Episode 1: Zero Frontier," was held on the afternoon of the 30th at Inspire Arena in Jung-gu, Incheon, where the audience resounded with deep, powerful chants. The proportion of male fans in the audience was noticeably high.
The concert began with "O.O," the title track from their debut single "Ad Mare." This was followed by the first-ever performance of "Phoenix" from their first full-length album, and then a rapid succession of five opening songs, including "Run for Roses," "Sonar," and "RICO."
Bae said, "After our first concert yesterday, I thought I would be less nervous today, but as the time to meet our fans, NSWER, approached, I felt just as nervous." Haewon added, "Anyone who sweats less than me can't go home," while Kyujin said, "I've been waiting for this moment," and shouted, "Let me hear the cheers that pierce through my in-ear monitors."
This concert featured live band performances for every song. The arrangements stood out by emphasizing rhythm and bass more than the original tracks. Jiwoo said, "I wanted to prepare a stage that would feel like a gift for our first concert."

This was followed by "High Horse," "DASH," and "KNOW ABOUT ME," as well as the first performances of new songs from their first full-length album, including "Reality Hurts," "ADORE U," and "Shape of Love." A total of 27 songs were performed over approximately two and a half hours.
The concert concept was "MIXXTOPIA." The group had announced an "adventurer concept" dress code in advance, and many fans in the audience stood out in adventurer-inspired outfits. Bae remarked, "Everyone here is already an adventurer." The stage visuals and set design were also tailored to this theme.
