"Brazilian funk meets K-POP": Fans excited as Pabllo Vittar announces collaboration with NMIXX, 'MEXE' 

Fans are excited over the collaboration between Pabllo Vittar and K-pop group NMIXX.

Kpop girl group NMIXX and Phabullo Rodrigues da Silva, known professionally as Pabllo Vittar, are set to collaborate on an upcoming song called "MEXE." The announcement for the same came on their social media accounts through a futuristic, video game-style teaser showing photocard images of both Vittar and NMIXX members Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin.

This is the first time a Kpop group is collaborating with a Drag queen, and fans have been nothing but supportive. Along with that, the group has also had a glowing year with their song High Horse,” a track from their 4th mini album Fe3O4: FORWARD, ranked second on Billboard’s list of the 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025 (So Far), as well as their performance at the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) game between the Oakland Athletics and the Arizona Diamondbacks, that brought them a lot of attention. Lily was singing the national anthem while Sullyoon took the mound as the ceremonial first pitcher to start the game.

The JYP group is known for their eccentric and EDM-esque sounds, which, according to Kpop fans, is either a complete hit or a miss. Though not much else is revealed in terms of concept, the sound from the teaser gives a very energetic, dance music vibe with Brazilian beats.
