NMIXX's Gyujin and FIFTY FIFTY's Hana will skip the 2025 university entrance exams (the common university entrance test in Japan). According to an interview with Newsen on the 7th, Gyujin and Hana are eligible to take the exam, but they have decided not to take the 2025 university entrance exams scheduled for the 14th of this month. They were born in 2006 and are 18 years old this year. Although they are qualified to take the university entrance exams, they have chosen to focus on their main careers as singers. NMIXX, to which Gyujin belongs, released their 3rd mini-album "Fe3O4:STICK OUT" and the title track "See that?" in August, gaining high popularity on major music distribution charts both domestically and internationally. FIFTY FIFTY, to which Hana belongs, started their first activities as a five-member group with their 2nd mini-album "Love Tune" in September, showcasing the title track "Gravity" and receiving love. FIFTY FIFTY is also preparing for their first U.S. tour after debuting, titled "LOVE SPRINKLE TOUR in USA." • [PHOTO] NMIXX returns to Korea after completing their schedule in China • FIFTY FIFTY reveals their first impression of the new member in their first gravure as a five-member group, saying "I was confident it would go well."
