“Please Don’t Use Jinni to Bring Down NMIXX” – Korean Netizens Debate Whether Jinni’s Withdrawal From NMIXX Negatively Affected the Group’s Popularity

Last December 9 of 2022, Jinni's departure from NMIXX was announced by her agency, JYP entertainment. As the center of the group, many fans consider Jinni as one of the core members of the group who fully embodies the concept of their group.

In a forum post on Nate Pann, a Korean netizen asked whether former NMIXX member Jinni's departure affected the group's popularity negatively.

They commented:

• Originally ruined... lol there is no particular element to ruin
• To be honest, the space she left wasn't that big... Kyujin is the main dancer, Sullyoon is the visual, Haewon is for the entertainment, and Lily is the most talked about in their songs in NMIXX. Jinni had that much influence..? Objectively, she has never been so much talked about except when she came out with black hair at an awards ceremony. Please don't use Jinni to bring down NMIXX...
• I honestly don't know... In the first place, I never thought of Jinni as the core member while watching NMIXX. She's pretty, but she wasn't mentioned as much as Sullyoon, and on stage, she didn't have any parts other than shouting out NMIXX when the mood of the song changed, so it didn't stand out... Nothing changed in NMIXX without Jinni
• Heck, everyone really sees differently. I thought Jinni was the core member of NMIXX
• not so much...
• She exists, but she is not that popular.
• I'm a fan of Jinni, so can you take it down?
• After reading this post, is your friend Jinni popular and is good at singing and dancing live? I was curious and looked it up, but there was nothing special anywhere. Kyujin and Jiwoo rapped well, Lily and Haewon sang well, and Sullyoon was pretty. I was surprised that she did well and sang well. I became a fan of Gyujin and Sullyoon while watching Nmixx videos.
• I'm sorry, but I didn't even know who Jinni was because I didn't know who she was ㅇㅇ I only knew three things: a foreign girl who sings well, a girl with a pretty face, and a girl who always wears shorts.
• To be honest, the one with the lowest stats in NMIXX was Jinni, but since she left, it's funny how she ranked up
• More than the members, NMIXX is ​​just garbage. Who searches for and listens to such songs? NMIXX songs = shock and fear
• Why is everyone so rude? When Jinni was there, people made a fuss about changing the center, but now Jinni is the center of the team hahahaha no no
• NMIXX would have been more exciting if more members had been selected
• It's just that NMIXX doesn't feel like a celebrity... It feels like they made a group by bringing all the hot girls you would see on Instagram. Sullyoon has the face of a fucking celebrity, but maybe that's why the rest of the kids are like that
• Since Jinni is not the core member, leaving the group doesn't feel big, but it's not good that there are members leaving the group that have just debuted
• Well, I don't know if it's affected that much on stage. It might be a blow to the fans.
