Former NMIXX member Jini (formerly Jinni) recently went on a livestream and opened her Twitter account. However, the timing of her activities has led some to wonder if she is intentionally overlapping with her former group.
Jini's departure from NMIXX in December 2022 came as a shock to NSWERs. NMIXX had only debuted a few months earlier, and just finished promoting its first comeback. Jini was also one of the most popular members of the K-Pop girl group. JYP Entertainment did not disclose any specific reasons for her departure, but said that it was due to "personal reasons."
A few months since her departure, Jini has been relatively quiet on social media. However, she surprised fans when she opened her personal Instagram accounts last March 18, stirring speculation on her return to the K-Pop scene. The timing raised some eyebrows as it coincided with NMIXX’s comeback with the EP, “expérgo,” on the 20th.
While most just brushed off the overlap as just mere coincidence, Jini’s recent activities fueled more speculations of her intentions. Earlier this week, the former NMIXX member made a surprise appearance on a livestream and also opened a Twitter account. The timing of these events has led some fans to wonder if Jini is trying to overshadow NMIXX's activities as the group released an MV for their newest track “Roller Coaster”
NMIXX is currently in the midst of promoting their upcoming album, "A Midsummer NMIXX’s Dream." The pre-release track has been met with positive reviews from critics, and the group has been performing well. However, some fans have expressed concern that Jini's recent activities could be seen as a distraction from NMIXX's promotions.
Here are some comments made by netizens of Pann: “Anyone can tell that it was intentional.” “But just like you said, she left the group so shouldn't you stop caring? Why are you putting them together and trying to find meaning in this.” “Leave the member who left alone ㅋㅋ you guys are such a mess for hating on her no matter what just because she's pretty.” “In short, she didn't want to leave but leftㅋㅋㅋㅋ then why did she leave?” “As expected, people are trying hard to find anything to hate her for just because she's prettyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ” “Sojang ahjuma is back at it again.”
It is unclear what Jini's intentions are. She has not made any statements about her plans for the future. Whatever her intentions may be, it is important to remember that Jini is a human being and deserves to be treated with respect. We should not make assumptions about her motives without knowing the full story. Instead, we should focus on supporting both Jini and NMIXX on their respective journeys.
