Haewon from NMIXX has been nominated in two categories, 'Best Female Variety Performer' and the 'Popularity Award', at the upcoming '61st Baeksang Arts Awards with Gucci'. The event is scheduled to take place on May 5th at 8 p.m. at COEX Hall D in Seoul’s Gangnam District.

Haewon, who made her debut with NMIXX's single 'AD MARE' on February 22, 2022, has been acknowledged for her leadership qualities and talent in visuals, performance, and vocals. She further showcased her skills during the promotion of the group's recent mini-album 'Fe3O4: FORWARD', where she stood out as an outstanding leader.

Her nomination primarily recognizes her exceptional performance in the field of variety entertainment. Her charm, quick wit, and charisma shone in her solo hosting role on the YouTube series 'Workdol' under 'Workman', where she engaged viewers with her humor, adaptability, and warm demeanor. One of the most memorable episodes, 'Flight Attendant Part-time Job', gained over 8.14 million views by April 22nd, becoming viral due to Haewon's amusing “mirror self-check” scene, which later turned into a popular meme.

Aside from her YouTube endeavors, Haewon made impressive appearances on mainstream television programs like MBC’s 'Hangout with Yoo', tvN’s 'Sixth Sense: City Tour', and DdeunDdeun’s 'Mini Pinggyego' on YouTube. Her remarkable ability to adapt to different show formats and deliver spontaneous humor has endeared her to producers and viewers alike, establishing her as a rising star in the world of variety shows.

Voting for the Popularity Award will be carried out on the retail media platform Prism, starting from noon on April 23rd until 4 p.m. on May 2nd.

Haewon's transition from a K-pop group leader to a standout variety entertainer highlights her expanding skill set and charm. Her nominations signify a significant milestone as she continues to carve out her identity beyond the music stage. Fans are looking forward to the surprises and touching moments she will bring to the prestigious Baeksang Awards.
