In April 2016, following the success of the drama Descendants of the Sun, it was announced that Chiko Bros Entertainment, one of China's largest media groups, had invested in the Korean market and was preparing to debut a new four member girl group named MIXX. On April 26, Chiko Bros Entertainment revealed the four members, Hanna, Liyah, Arie, and Henny, along with their profiles, and set their debut month to May. Later, in May 3, it was announced that the group would officially debut in the 5th.
On May 5, MIXX officially debuted with their first digital single "Oh Ma Mind". On December 12, it was announced that the group would reorganize as a five-member group, with the departure of member Henny and the addition of two new members, Heeu and Mia. Later, on December 29, it was announced that the group would soon make a comeback with their second digital single, "Love is a Sudden".
The same day, their agency revealed the member profiles for the previously announced members Heeu and Mia. On January 2, 2017, MIXX released a surprise teaser for their previously announced new single. On the 5th, they officially made their comeback with their second digital single, "Love is a Sudden".
However, on March 17, it was announced that MIXX officially disbanded less than a year after their debut. Their agency, Chaico Entertainment, cited the political conflict between South Korea and China over the as the direct cause. The agency stated that Chinese partner Chiko Bros Entertainment unilaterally terminated their partnership and repatriated the group's three Chinese members, Hanna, Arie, and Liyah, without consultation.
Despite efforts to resolve the situation and attract new investment, attempts to normalize the group's activities failed due to a lack of cooperation from the Chinese side. This forced the agency to disband the group and unconditionally terminate the contracts of the remaining Korean members, Heeu and Mia. Four days later, on Weibo, Chiko Bros Entertainment announced the Chinese members of the group would continue their activities in China as a three-member group.
Despite the announcement, the three girls did not hold many activities as a group and primarily promoted in their individual projects, with occasional references to the group. The group is presumed to have ultimately disbanded in 2018, after all their updates had halted.
