1. [+286] Sullyoon would've done amazing if she went to a group that had more of a Twice-like concept. Kyujin stands out the most with NMIXX's concept.
- [+55] But Kyujin's too weak to push as the center in this concept ㅋㅋ among similar concepts, there's Aespa but their center is Karina... and another similar ssen concept is Black Pink and their center is Jennie. Kyujin's just... such an average look, like someone you'd see at a high school talent show. It's a failure on JYP's part to think she could stand as a center at all. She's pretty and talented but not eye-catching. Just really average, doesn't leave an impression. 

2. [+262] Rookies need good songs no matter what. They don't have a strong enough fanbase yet to handle weird experimental songs so JYP needs to stop thinking they can rely on the group's visuals to mae easy money and focus on producing some good songs for them. Look at New Jeans... they have the visuals but their songs are damn awesome so people are listening and taking an interest.

3. [+212] It really does seem like their position will be in a precarious situation if they don't come back with a song that captures the public...

4. [+185] Seeing IVE and New Jeans does make me think that rookies need good songs, concepts too.. it's going to be a struggle for NMIXX if they don't come out with a catchy song ㅜ

5. [+71] It's easy to think that Sullyoon only has an innocent image but when you see her on stage, her eyes completely change into someone with force and a sexy style. People will be surprised once they see it. Anyway, NMIXX has amazing talents so I don't think they'll be anything but successful.
- [+3] I don't think so. They're already a flop. The top 3 out of the 4th generation are Aespa, New Jeans, and IVE now

6. [+21] Well there's news of a comeback soon so I hope it's a catchy song that brings in the public

7. [+42] NMIXX debuted with the concept of a mix-pop genre so I think they're going to keep releasing songs like their debut song with mixed songs. Their best bet is to come out with a song that's a bit of a brighter mix like the second verse of their debut song.

8. [+63] I don't think they're in the running for a rookie award... IVE's way too strong. New Jeans might win it but they only just debuted... for now, IVE is most likely

9. [+60] I always thought it was unfortunate that their concepts never had the freshness of a rookie but rather outfits and songs that looked and sounded like a 10 year-old idol group

10. [+16] Their talents definitely put them at the top of the fourth generation groups. The kids are really talented so I wish their stats would follow too. They're a team I support the most out of the fourth generation.

11. [+133] So many girl groups with great songs lately while NMIXX has the most difficult to listen to. It's a style that's hard for the public to be drawn into.. Aespa, Twice, Black Pink, StayC, GI-dle, Le Sserafim, ITZY, New Jeans, Kep1er, IVE, NMIXX... out of this group, NMIXX is the weakest. Their company really needs to focus on catching the public's attention with their next comeback.

12. [+29] Girl groups aren't really doing the innocent concept lately. Maybe it's time to start focusing on a niche market. NMIXX has a few members who could pull off the innocent concept perfectly, and I think they'd do well with it.

13. [+30] They don't really have a special color about them. Their senior groups have a specific look but there's nothing that stands out about them. Honestly, I'm surprised at how well Hybe's been doing with their girl groups. They debuted Le Sserafim and New Jeans in one year but they both have distinctive styles still.

14. [+44] I actually think it's great that NMIXX debuted at a time with a ton of other girl group debuts... because it might be hard to compete right at this moment, but in the end, it's only the talented ones who survive.
- [+14] JYP fans love using this excuse about skills and talents, but in the end, WG and Twice got famous not for their talents but for their songs. The only reason they're able to be considered top groups is because of their hit songs. The only thing that matters to a singer is how well their song does, not their skills.
- [+14] Skills are important but the idol industry is an industry where skills alone won't get you to the top. Look at what happened to all of the super talented groups like CSJH or SPICA... you're going to flop if you don't get the right song or concept.

15. [+38] Wonder Girls and Twice didn't start gaining momentum until their second songs with 'Tell Me' and 'Cheer UP' so I know they're going to hit daebak next~ They're just so talented

16. [+29] The eight of them have such a perfect combination of vocals, dance skills, and visuals but their debut song was too difficult which pushed them out of the fourth generation competition

17. [+12] It's not their concept, they just have too many unnecessary members... especially some who look too similar to each other. Kyujin and Jiwoo are especially difficult to tell apart.

18. [+10] NMIXX's songs grow on you the more you listen to it... but the problem is that listening to it is the hard part.

19. [+13] New Jeans has a style that's easy for even people who don't care about idols to listen to their music or enjoy their fashion.. but I don't think anyone who doesn't care about idols even knows that NMIXX debuted...

20. [+44] When I watch New Jeans and then go watch NMIXX, they make me want to go back to watching New Jeans
