During their dance cover medley, NMIXX performed a series of hits from their seniors in JYP Entertainment, as well as Girls' Generation's (SM Entertainment) "Gee." Although the group could perform all the songs, people believed their performance was not impressive.
During the whole group shots, each member has their own style of dancing that is different from one another. While people appreciate that each member has their own individuality, it also made the group look like they lacked harmony.

People also claim that you can easily see their shortcomings during the whole group shots. They are not in sync with each other, with each member executing the move wrong with every beat. Overall, many are confused about the lack of harmony between the group.
This was especially evident in the group's performance of "Thunderous" by Stray Kids. As it is a boy group's choreography, the dance requires excellent technique and force. NMIXX's dance line, Jiwoo, Kyujin and Jinni performed the song. People claim that the trio did not dance together well. "Thunderous" relies heavily on their arms and being leveled, but the leveling of the arms between the girls was not equal.
