NMIXX’s Haewon has been nominated for both the 'Best Female Variety Performer and Popularity Award' categories at the '61st Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci'. The awards ceremony will take place on May 5th at 8 p.m. at COEX Hall D in Seoul’s Gangnam District.

Since debuting with NMIXX’s single 'AD MARE' on February 22, 2022, Haewon has earned recognition as a true “all-rounder” leader, combining stunning visuals, performance, and vocals. She continued to shine during promotions for the group’s recent mini album 'Fe3O4: FORWARD', where her leadership and presence stood out prominently.

Haewon’s nomination particularly stems from her standout performance in variety entertainment. Her charisma and quick wit came to the forefront through her solo hosting role on the YouTube variety series 'Workdol' under 'Workman', where she took on part-time jobs and captured audiences with her humor, adaptability, and warm personality. One of the standout episodes, 'Flight Attendant Part-time Job', surpassed 8.14 million views as of April 22nd, going viral for Haewon’s quirky “mirror self-check” moment, which has since become a meme.

In addition to YouTube content, Haewon made notable appearances on mainstream shows including MBC’s 'Hangout with Yoo', tvN’s 'Sixth Sense: City Tour', and YouTube channel DdeunDdeun’s 'Mini Pinggyego'. Her ability to instantly adapt to diverse formats and deliver spontaneous humor has made her a favorite among producers, earning her growing attention as a rising star in the variety scene.

Voting for the Popularity Award will be conducted through the global retail media platform Prism, starting at noon on April 23rd and running until 4 p.m. on May 2nd.

Haewon’s journey from a K-pop group leader to a breakout variety entertainer showcases her expanding versatility and charm. Her nominations mark a significant moment as she continues to build her identity beyond the stage. With the Baeksang Awards approaching, fans eagerly await what new surprises and heartfelt moments she’ll deliver on this prestigious night.
