In 2022, JINI made headlines with her sudden departure from the group NMIXX. JINI (also known as Jinni) had debuted as a member of NMIXX in February of 2022 with the debut track ‘O.O,’ which quickly gained popularity and launched the group’s career. But in December of 2022, it was suddenly announced that JINI would be leaving the group immediately for personal reasons, and that her contract with JYP Entertainment was terminated. In April 2023, JINI signed with a new agency and began her career as a soloist and actress.

Now, netizens are revisiting the surprising sequence of events, and discussing what NMIXX might be like now if JINI was still in the group. Some are mentioning that JINI’s unique beauty would have complemented member Sullyoon’s visuals well, while others are arguing that JINI is better suited to a solo career. Some netizens are still wondering as to the real reasons behind JINI’s quick departure from the group, and saying they are hesitant to support JINI without knowing why she left the group.

“Looking at NMIXX’s faces right now, it seems there’s no member who can complement Sullyoon. She stands out too much. The one member who could neutralize her visuals was JINI… In other groups, you have this kind of combination, like Karina – Winter and Jang Wonyoung – An Yujin. With NMIXX, it should have been Sullyoon  JINI”

“Honestly, I’m the most curious as to why she left and became a soloist”

“She’s both beautiful and talented…”

“JINI must have learned so much as a trainee… dancing, singing, and rapping for 7 years. But then she only released one solo album and that was it. It’s a shame”

“I really loved the combination of Sullyoon and JINI ㅠㅠ”

“At their debut, I thought that if JINI was the center of NMIXX and Sullyoon was beside her, the group image would have been completely different and unique. Sullyoon has very princess-like beauty, so in terms of the NMIXX concept, she feels more like a talented visual than a center”

“JINI is really pretty. I think she's a classic beauty who will continue the legacy of Irene, Jisoo, and Miyeon

“Everyone is saying they wish JINI was in the group now, but back when NMIXX debuted, you all only noticed Sullyoon ㅋㅋ”

“Seriously, JINI... I feel sad every time I see her. She looked so good with Sullyoon... Her skills are amazing too... She could have been an idol on the same level as Wonyoung, Karina, and Winter, honestly”


What are your thoughts on JINI's departure from NMIXX?
