I guess Christmas is an apropo time to talk about rewards and prizes. It’s been about a year since we first launched the Ningin Reward Center. In that time, about 50 prizes have been rewarded - a lot more if you count Limited Edition Pins. Between the Reward Center and the 366+ prizes we gave out this past year alone, Ninginers had numerous opportunities to receive free Kpop merchandise just for being a user of this site. Next year, there will be a major change to this structure. As much as we like doing giveaways, we don’t like having to package and ship them. It’s just an incredibly time consuming thing to do. Enter KpopHeaven. Meeting the founders of KpopHeaven was truly serendipitous for us. They allow us to focus our editorial and contests while they handle the fulfillment. This means much, much faster shipping for prize winners as well as other great benefits. More »


It’s been awhile since we concluded Stage 1 of Mixr Legions so let’s do a quick recap. Team Super SM Boys narrowly edged out Team Island of Infinite Boyfriend Kisses in the final moments of what was a back and forth match. The final score was 2000 to 1985. Team Super SM Boys will see 12 members from their team advance while only 9 from Team Island of Infinite Boyfriend Kisses will move on. Over 100 people signed up, only 21 remains. The advancing players were chosen based on number of Legion Points and EXP earned in Stage 1 as well as their total overall activity during the past the competition. Now we’ll be breaking into teams of three with the winning team - and most dedicated Kpop fans - will earn an album that they chose during signup. We’ll be starting Stage 2 at 12am EST tonight. Oh and KpopHeaven has been added as a sponsor and with their generiousity, we’ve upped the prizes. Read on for the new teams and prizes: More »

And so we’ve come to the last set of wallpapers of 2011! It’s been quite a first year for our little wallpaper project with hundreds of submission over the course of this wonderful year. Ninginers submitted some fun and cheery holiday themed ones for the month of December. Let’s get to them, starting with the top ones: More »


I’ve just been made aware that people might be impersonating Ningin staff members and telling users via email that they have won prizes and to email back personal information. While I do not have all the details of how long this has been happening or how many have been affected, I do want to make it clear that Ningin never sends an email telling you have won a prize. It’s a policy we have because we know how incredibly easy it is to send emails pretending to be someone else. We will also never ask you for password to your account. If you receive any such emails, please forward them to security@mixrmedia.com and we will contact the proper authorities. More »


It seems that random issues keep cropping up this week. For the past 24 hours, the Ningin Blog page would randomly give server errors or blank pages. This issue was confined to the Ningin Blog and Ningin Blog commenting system. It did not affect other areas of Ningin or other Mixr sites. The problem stemmed from two of our older webservers that no longer wanted to function normally. We’ve since replaced one and we’re in the process of adding more. There should be no more errors related to this issue. More »


Our hosting company made some updates to their network this morning which brought about some glitches to our network. It took awhile for us to figure out what was going since we weren’t told in advance what the changes were. In any case, we apologize for the intermittent downtime this morning. At this point in time, all issues seem to be resolved. We shouldn’t have any more downtime related to our hosting company’s updates. Thanks for your understanding. More »


We’re in the process of adding new features and updates to our network. There may be intermittent downtime during this process. Most likely there won’t be, but if there is, it won’t last for more than a few minutes as stuff gets rebooted. Thanks for your patience. More »


There’s about 120 contestants for this November session of Mixr Legions, which is 50% more than last time! The KPOP loyalties, based on your album preference, seems to be split half-way between SM boy groups vs everyone else. I can’t wait to see which team advances. There’s lots of albums and Reward Points up for grabs, so good luck to all the contestants! More »

Ningin shares the sadness in the hearts of many ELFs when news first broke that Heechul would be leaving Super Junior while he fulfills his military obligations. Of course Heechul is not a man to be easily forgotten and we thought it fun to celebrate all the things he has done in his short career thus far. Starting next Friday, on 9/30, we’ll be doing a special series of Heechul related giveaways and articles to show that Heechul will be deeply missed. Read on for the details of the giveaways: More »
