Article: "[UPDATED] NMIXX Jinni withdrawal + 'real' reason for termination of the contract"
Source: YouTube
[Context] Following JYP's notice of contract terminations with NMIXX Jinni, YouTuber Sojang posted a video on the 9th with claims of an informant report that confirmed Jinni was kicked from NMIXX for visiting motels with her mang-dol boyfriend A, who Sojang later exposed as YOUNITE's Steve.
++ Sojang has also revealed that a member from JYP male trainee group 'Loud' connected the two.
After the report, comments began pouring out in online communities over Jinni being a minor and Steve an adult when the two secretly met at motels. Here's the link to the full translation.
- [+2,500] What should get the most attention here is the fact that idol A "Steve" led their "motel romance" but didn't suffer any damage. I guess since he got to sleep with a popular female idol it's considered a "plus" for him.
- [+1,800] If she was going to date, she should've at least gone for a top idol from The Boyz or NCT ,,ㅋㅋ.. YOUNITE is so nugu? I mean does anyone even know who Steve is??
- [+1,700] [💜 by Sojang] What's shocking is that all the members knew..? Idols and their f*cking images seriously.. there's no one to believe in anymore.
- [+1,600] No, I doubt an idol who has the audacity to touch a "minor" in the first place is human.. it's quite shocking. She really met the wrong guy...it's a pity. She was quite talented.
- [+1,000] [💜 by Sojang] The fact that a 'Big 3' agency just "terminated her contract" and isn't even fighting back on public opinion says it all...ㅠㅠㅠ
- [+987] Getting caught sleeping with a minor at a motel deserves at minimum 3 years in prison and a 30 million won fine. Does he realize how much trouble he has caused for Jinni? He couldn't control his p*nis and sexual desires??! He needs to get investigated by police!!
- [+856] [💜 by Sojang] There are other issues besides that going on. Jinni probably thought she hadn't been discovered by the company that's why she was still thanking fans two days ago. But after she got caught, JYP summoned Jinni and her parents to discuss it and she said she would stop promoting with NMIXX. The company said they would find a way to fix it but I'm sure they knew, whether they could fix or not, that the group's image would be ruined and they would be criticized if she continued to promote. Also, even if she stayed, there was no guarantee it wouldn't be find out someday so they decided to let her leave when she wasn't as popular yet. The company did say Jinni was the one that wanted to leave first? Because she was a member that had been a trainee with the company for a long time they probably thought to cover it up for her without asking for additional responsibility. I know rumors are saying the company unilaterally kicked her out but I think Jinni left on her own.
- [+796] She really had the visuals and talents to gain fame too. Why the hell did she throw away her 7 years of suffering? I was honestly in shock when I heard she was leaving the group because I was really cheering her on... ugh ~ I'm honestly worried about NMIXX future now.
- [+763] [💜 by Sojang] If this is true, then it's sad. Other female idols get to go to luxury hotels but even with her visuals and young age, he felt she was a cheap date good enough for s*x at a motel..
- [+706] No.. at least don't get caught ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. Is he just going around doing whatever he wants?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I know it's natural and understandable for an adult to have s*x but she's a minor?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. It's shocking that the members knew about it too.
- [+626] [💜 by Sojang] This just goes to show why you shouldn't date beneath you. Dating scandals never hurt the man, always the woman.
- [+517] Yuna, please stay pure until you gain success.. please...
- [+468] If all she cares about as a minor is playing around and having s*x then she deserves to get kicked. Injecting dr*gs, gambling, having underage s*x, school bullying, if that's all you care about then don't become an idol!
