“According to OP, Park Jinyoung personally selected four members for the group and it has been confirmed. The group’s concept will be similar to that of miss A.”
The OP stated that the band’s songs would not be intense, but rather easy to listen to. They also mentioned that the songs could be compared to LE SSERAFIM’s “EASY”in terms of sound, as the band’s current releases.
“OP stated that their debut is planned for January 2025.”
Despite JYP Entertainment’s decision to introduce a new act, Korean netizens expressed their discontent with the post and directed their frustration towards the company, questioning why they were not focusing on promoting ITZY and NMIXX instead.
- “JYP’s producing and marketing are honestly hopeless. They seem to only trust in their pool of trainees.”
- “Before ITZY cemented their position in the industry, they launched NMIXX and before NMIXX finds their spot, they are launching yet another group. Is this a company that’s in their right mind?”
- “Can he take care of their existing groups instead? He’s being such a jerk.”
- “No noise, and nobody cares. Try to save ITZY and NMIXX first before launching a new group.”
- “Please give NMIXX a good song instead.”
Similarly, fans from around the world shared similar opinions, expressing their belief that it was not a wise decision for the company to debut a new group so soon, especially considering that NMIXX had just debuted in 2022. Some even speculated that the trainees may be part of an upcoming band. Their comments can be found below:
- “I feel like NMIXX just debuted yesterday. This is such a bad move when they are yet to establish themselves.”
- “It’s rumored they’re a band.”
- “JYP can’t stand competition and his groups not being on top of everyone, he’s always greedy for more.”
- “NMIXX have only been around for 2 years? JYP is so unserious.”
- “JYP can’t even promote NMIXX and ITZY correctly and he wants to debut a new girl group. This company.”
