JYP terminates contract with NMIXX's Jinni

 Article: NMIXX's Jinni leaves group barely a year into debut

Source: Insight via Instagram

1. [+482] She spent seven years training in one agency and felt so proud of being a member of NMIXX because of her love for dancing. Please don't leave any hate towards her.

2. [+213] Isn't there a huge penalty fee for terminating your contract like this?

3. [+316] After reading what other communities are saying, it seems she's been suffering from a ton of hate comments since her debut. I doubt someone as young as her is able to handle all of that.

4. [+183] I bet hate comments is one of the reasons for her exit ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I remember people were always hating on her dancing for being too over the top... when will the public realize what they're doing?

5. [+262] But Jinni has been holding on since she was in elementary school. She was always thanking her fans, expressing her gratitude at getting to achieve her dreams. Whatever her personal matter is, it must be big ㅜㅜ I hope she has a happy life.

6. [+143] Jinni's practically the center member 😢 No, don't go 😭

7. [+79] Huk, my bias...

8. [+7] While others hated on her for her over the top dancing, the rest of us fans thought it was 'good' dancing...

1. [+527] She trained for seven years... I'd rather believe that JYP was hacked when putting up this announcement ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

2. [+334] Surely it's not a spontaneous decision...???? It's not even like she's swithcing to being an actress, what's going on?

3. [+295] Please stop messing with us ㅠ ㅠ

4. [+286] What is NMIXX going to do without the MIXX change elf..ㅠ

5. [+181] Surely you mean the Genie from Aladdin? What is going on?

6. [+168] Eh? Yoonjin-ah, it's not April Fool's Day, what's happening ㅜㅜ

7. [+194] I don't think she's been training since elementary school to just debut for a year and quit... what's the personal matter... She was the member who was always putting out content with the team's future in mind, this feels so sudden...

8. [+127] She's like Nayeon for Twice.. the elf of the group... what is this

9. [+65] Why does this always happen with JYP groups ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 😭

10. [+10] Wait, JYP is really just letting someone who's been training with them for seven years to just leave? After having them on MAMA and everything? I sincerely hope this was solely her decision... my bias...

1. [+264] Choi Yoonjin!!!! I want you to be happy, happy to death!! Do everything you couldn't do in these past seven years!!!

2. [+154] Who's going to do the NMIXX change up now ㅜㅜ?

3. [+44] Eh???? What could be the reason... 😢

4. [+146] This is so stupid... there was never any rumors of school bullying or fights with the other members... She spent seven years training with Sullyoon. If not for health reasons, what could the reason possibly be??;;; And most members with health issues usually just go on hiatus, not leave the group;;; She started training at 12, why would she suddenly just want to leave? Personal matter? What the f*ck is the personal matter? ㅠㅠ Tell me this is an April Fool's Day prank

5. [+164] Hul... NMIXX without Jinni.. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ but I'm sure she has an important reason for wanting to let all this go... please be happy wherever you go!

1. [+74] So who's going to be the one shouting NMIXX! when the vibe of the song changes...?

2. [+72] ??? Jinni...??? She's one of the ace members, though...?????

3. [+21] I have a feeling that reality hit her hard that she spent seven years to debut in a group that isn't doing that well... She's beautiful, a great singer and dancer, but the group isn't able to make use of that... and despite being backed by JYP, there are a lot of people who still barely know her or even her group. I bet reality hit her even harder after watching all the other groups with their year-end stages... Maybe I'm overreaching but I do wish the best for her.

4. [+33] She probably debuted hoping to be like IVE, Le Sserafim, New Jeans, but her group's been downhill ever since... I really think the reality of her idealized vision and real life clashed...

1. [+626] At this rate, there's something going on with JYP

2. [+355] But Jinni ㅠ this feels so sudden, my bias

3. [+142] I want to know the reason, at least. This kid dropped out of school to become a celebrity and they're really just letting her out after barely a year of promos?

4. [+63] Stuff like this makes me amazed at how Twice has held on together. JYP, please protect your members ㅠㅠㅠ

5. [+53] Couldn't Hyuna tell us the real reason she left now? I initially heard that she transferred out of trust for Cube's CEO?

6. [+35] Yoonjin hasn't even promoted for a full year yet... is this real life ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

7. [+108] JYP seems to have a one year curse..?

8. [+27] JYP's a hilarious company when you lay it all out like this

9. [+26] Dammit, our Yoonjinie... ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

10. [+9] So what are these "personal matters" ㅋㅋㅋ

Video: NMIXX JINNY withdrawal + 'real' reason for termination of the contract

Source: Sojang via YouTube

1. [+372] What pisses me off the most about this scandal is that the Steve guy who set up this motel relationship will not be harmed by this at all. If anything, he got to have his fun with a popular female idol.

2. [+237] I mean, I think the person who would go after a 'minor' in the first place is the one to balme here... this is really shocking. Aigoo, she ruined her life by getting involved with the wrong man. What a waste, she was so talented too.

3. [+143] She has all the makings of someone made for the spotlight with skills and beauty... why throw away seven years? But now that I see the reason... Now I'm concerned for NMIXX's future. This will follow them around forever...

4. [+107] Steve needs to be kicked out of his group too. Why only Choi Yoonjin? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ At least JYP is choosing to stay loyal by not giving the truth ㅜ I was hating on JYP before this... This whole situation is unfortunate. She spent seven years training without a chance to have any fun, perhaps that was what led to all of this ㅜ what a waste, really...

5. [+174] I didn't know Jinni was a minor, she looked 23 years old to me

6. [+83] I'm more shocked that Jinni's a minor

7. [+168] For a huge agency like JYP to 'terminate a contract' without reason, not even just simply leaving the group... ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

8. [+495] I'm shocked that the members all knew... sigh, no one to trust in the idol industry

9. [+164] Love may feel like everything to you at that age but I know she's going to regret this later in life

10. [+481] Jinni-ya... this is a waste of your seven years... why...

11. [+138] Everyone's giving JYP a lot of flak for only saying "personal matter" and not giving details but if they were to come out with this, it will affect a ton more people and end up on the front page news;; how can you expect them to tell the truth now;;; If anything, JYP's the good guy here by choosing not to lie or tell 

12. [+235] If this is true, it's very unfortunate. While other female idols are at luxury hotels, she's using her beauty and age on cheap motel dates. 

13. [+168] She's only a '04er; she should've at least waited until three years after debut to pursue this kind of stuff

14. [+101] Sigh, losing all your life's work over one man.. ㅠㅠ I feel bad for her, though I know this is her own doing.. she's still a minor, too...

15. [+122] It makes sense why JYP chose to kick her out so quickly... if this were to get out, their company would be so embarrassed

16. [+202] Worked so hard to debut just for some nugu man to ruin your entire life... this is hopeless... She's such a pretty face, all she needed was a bit more push to really shoot to stardom...

17. [+265] Hul.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I knew there would be a bigger reason... I thought it was so weird that they'd just terminate a contract just a year into debut, especially someone who's been with them for seven years

18. [+163] JYP is super strict with this stuff, they'll kick you out immediately.. especially as a minor.. Didn't a Day6 member get kicked out for something similar?

19. [+82] I've never even heard of this nugu group YOUNITE, Jinni really ruined everything she's worked towards for the past seven years over this

20. [+195] So in summary, she got kicked out because she got caught going to motels with a guy when she's a minor??
