NMIXX's Heawon experienced a situation that caused controversy when she was exposed to an unidentified laser light during her birthday commemorative livestream. On the 24th, Heawon conducted a birthday livestream at her accommodation in Viña del Mar, Chile. At that time, NMIXX was set to perform at the '2026 Festival de Viña del Mar,' one of Latin America's representative festivals, from the 22nd to the 27th, marking the first appearance of a K-POP group. As Heawon approached her birthday on the 25th, she started the livestream to interact with fans, maintaining a pleasant atmosphere. However, a scene was captured where a green laser light shone into Heawon’s room from outside the window. Heawon, with a surprised expression, began to grasp the situation, asking, 'What are you doing right now?' As she tried to continue speaking, the laser light illuminated her face again. In response, she bit her lip and closed her eyes, seemingly holding back anger. This threatening behavior did not stop at one instance but was repeated several times, causing further shock. The relevant scene rapidly spread on social media and various online communities, gathering attention. Users who saw this expressed mixed reactions, saying, 'I've never seen Heawon with such an expression before,' 'This is really terrible,' 'There are cases where someone continuously shines a laser light to identify where a celebrity lives while watching a livestream,' and 'Even if they are fans, such reckless behavior is unacceptable.' As of now, the exact circumstances are not fully understood, but there is a deep regret that this incident occurred during a moment meant for Heawon to connect with fans on her birthday amidst a busy overseas schedule. This incident, which tainted the celebration for the birthday star and all fans, should never be repeated.
