Netizens are debating whether NMIXX's latest album cover is 'too similar' to an existing movie poster.

On an online forum, netizens are discussing the album cover for NMIXX's pre-release single "Roller Coaster" as a prelude to their upcoming 3rd Single, 'A Midsummer NMIXX's Dream.' According to the original poster, the album cover closely mirrors a specific still cut used in a poster released in February 2023 for the Korean premiere of 'Aftersun,' a 2022 indie film starring Frankie Corio and Paul Mescal.

While some netizens argue that this style of photography is too common to be deemed controversial, others are asserting that the composition and layout, including the positioning of the fonts, are still too similar to disregard.

Most netizens speculate that the official poster was an artistic reference for the producing team behind NMIXX and that they deliberately paid homage to the film for their summer concept, given the popularity of the film.
