Fans think NMIXX Jinni is being robbed after popular member Sullyoon takes center

Sullyoon who has been grabbing attention for her visuals appears as the center of NMIXX leading fans to worry about Jinni having limited lines

NMIXX is one of those K-pop groups that may have made their debut in the last few weeks but are still being talked about due to the mystery that surrounds them. Even before all members of the group were introduced, they came to become one of the most popular K-pop girl groups to come from JYP Entertainment. Now as the septet have finally made a lasting impact on the industry with their debut, fans are curious about the official positions of each member.

Just like any other group NMIXX has their leader, maknae, dance line, vocal line, and rap line revealed but one thing that the group has not revealed is their official Main visual. A main visual aka lead or center is the one member that represents the group being the ‘Face of the Group’. Jinni, who fans believed was the center of the group is suddenly replaced by viral member Sullyoon leading fans to worry that she will suffer greatly in the future as Jinni already has very few lines in NMIXX’s songs.

Who is NMIXX’s center?

With NMIXX making its debut with a unique concept, JYP had originally revealed that the seven-member girl group will promote as an all-center, all-vocal, all-rap group. This meant that without having to organize members into specific lines, the label will have all members take on positions in the center, vocal, and rap lines as the concept of a particular comeback permits. Despite having said so, JYP seems to have suddenly replaced Jinni, who used to be placed in the center of all dance performances for NMIXX debut with ‘O.O’ and the b-side song, ‘Tank’ with viral member Sullyoon.

Sullyoon who has currently been garnering a lot more attention than usual all thanks to her charming visuals has the potential of becoming one of the representative faces of the fourth-gen girl groups of K-pop. This sudden attention towards Sullyoon has fans worrying that JYP has suddenly replaced Jinni as the center of the group in the same era as their debut, even before the members could progress into a new comeback concept.

'Some of y'all are downplaying Jinni'

NSWER's, fans of NMIXX are now discussing that Jinni, who already has limited lines in the group's songs could risk losing her Center spot given Sullyoon's popularity. One fan said, “Bruh why r people upset sullyoon is at the end of the line in arrangements? her and bae are the tallest so it only makes sense. also jinni is the center so naturally, shed be center.” Another fan said, “Because the pretty girl is in the center, the group looks outstanding. As expected the center should be the visual. Plus Jinni standing next to Sullyoon makes it even more amazing.”

One fan said, “Sullyoon is currently the most popular visual face in Kpop today. Before that, Kyujin and Jinni took turns standing in the center position at the debut showcase of NMIXX, while Sullyoon had to stand at the far end.” Another fan claimed, “Sullyoon is probably just gonna stand in the center but Jinni or Kyujin will be the center of performances. Some of y’all downplaying her and i don’t like that.”

Another fan said, “Jinni is the center of NMIXX and KyuJin is the center of choreography. It would be silly for them to give Sullyoon the center just because it's gone viral.” Another fan said, “Jinni has so much center time in both o.o and tank for someone that has little to no lines HKDHSJSHSJA.” One fan said, “Shouldn't center be someone who can represent the whole group and can become the identity like when you see the member and say this is nmixx. That vibe is of Jinni or Kyujin. I love all the members but Sullyoon doesn't scream center.”
