Netizens commented:
"Jinni as the center really feels safe."
"When Jinni comes to the center, the group's image really does become clearer."
"To think of NMIXX without Jinni...the fact that a lot of people are saying they hope Jinni goes to YG just shows how she would have soared high if she was styled in a more trendy way...Please let her redo her celebrity [career]."
"It's really different [with Jinni as the center]."
"NMIXX...is over..."
"When NMIXX first debuted, Jinni was revealed as the center [member] TTT. Then, I don't know why this suddenly changed."
"Wow, it's very obviously different [with Jinni as the center]."
"That photo is so cute. The members gave up the center space for Jinni because she was so excited over their award."
I hope she’s able to redebut after all that hard work, talent and visual.
