In-Depth Analysis
Its editing is meticulous. Not only does it capture individual interviews of the band members, but it also includes clips of their practice videos. Thus, keeping the focus on their hard work and determination. This documentary will help boost their success and, as an upcoming band, will make them known in the global arena. They have already gained immense attention in Latin American regions. They are openly LGBTQ+ supportive and gender fluid. At a time when homosexuality, along with other non-binary sexualities, is frowned upon by most nations, 4MIX might be one of the few bands that challenge those distinctions and is bound to inspire and put hope into people. Their desire and confidence in the band’s identity can be figured from their dreams and belief in unity among themselves, as seen through this documentary. Even though they had a startling start with the leave of J2, the connection between members is a significant aspect, and George’s presence will hopefully fill that gap between them. Each episode focus on a topic relevant to the group’s popularity. People outside the members also contribute to the story. The members’ interviews speak from different perspectives and shared their thoughts on several situations, circumstances, fears and questions. Their journey began in 2019 with the signing of contracts. Cut to May 2020, when the members were revealed. Initially, they used to do dance covers for events. In October 2020, their profiles are released officially. They won “People’s choice awards” from J-Trends Popular Awards in 2020. Soon after, J2 left. Finally, in May 2021, their first official debut, ‘Y U Comeback’, came. George joined as the newest member, and their documentary was released after this. This was the complete and rough history of the band.
