Bae

Bae (배이), born Bae Jin-sol (배진솔) on December 28, 2004, in Yangsan, South Korea, is a lead vocalist and dancer of NMIXX, the six-member group under JYP Entertainment's SQU4D division. At 170cm she is the tallest member of the group, a distinction that has become part of her visual identity within a lineup known for strong individual characteristics. Her path to the debut stage began unusually: a JYP Entertainment staff member cast her in front of her school in December 2018, initiating a trainee period that concluded with NMIXX's first release in February 2022. Before the group debuted, she appeared in the JYP Trainee Homecoming Showcase in 2019, an early indication that her development was progressing on a visible track. Her stage name, Bae, reflects her surname directly — a clean simplicity that anchors her within the group while distinguishing her from the abstract or compound stage names common in K-pop. She has cited Dua Lipa and ITZY as musical influences, a pairing that maps her vocal and performance interests accurately: the first suggests a preference for anthemic, melodically driven pop; the second, the high-energy precision choreography that NMIXX itself became known for. NMIXX debuted February 22, 2022, with the single album Ad Mare and its lead track "O.O." — a structurally unusual song that demonstrated from the outset the group's appetite for compositional complexity over approachability. Bae's lead vocalist designation within that framework means she carries significant portions of the group's melodic structure, particularly in passages where tonal clarity is load-bearing. The group's subsequent releases through the ENTWURF, Expérgo, and Fe3O4 eras maintained that standard, and NMIXX's TIC TIC: CARNIVAL World Tour in 2025 brought the live iteration of that work — including a landmark performance at the Festival de Viña del Mar in Chile — to audiences across multiple continents. Bae's nickname within the group is YiYi.
