It has now been over nine months since Jini left the girl group NMIXX. A lot has happened since then: the singer has opened her own social media accounts and signed a contract with a new agency. And yesterday, Jini, who now spells her name with just one “n”, caused a stir with teasers for a solo album:
Jini is about to make her solo debut with the mini album “An Iron Hand In A Velvet Glove”!
It's not yet known exactly when the album will be released, but we surely won't have to wait much longer for new details! Jini may have already uploaded a spoiler on Tiktok. Since July 7, she has been uploading short dance videos on the platform. But in her most recent video from September 2, she can be seen in the recording studio, and maybe she's singing one of her new songs?
The solo debut probably won't come as too much of a surprise to most fans. In April, UAP (United Artist Production) announced that Jini had signed a contract. It was also revealed that another agency called Sublime will work together with UAP and manage Jini’s activities. So it was only a matter of time until Jini returned!
K-Pop fans got to know Jini in 2022 as a member of JYP’s new girl group NMIXX.
NMIXX debuted on February 22 with the single album “Ad Mare”, including the title track “O.O”.
With Jini, the girl group had a total of seven members. In September, the second single album “Entwurf” was released, and on November 23 the first Christmas song “Funky Glitter Christmas” followed. That was also the last NMIXX project with Jini, because only a few days later, on December 9, JYP Entertainment announced that she had left the girl group for personal reasons. To this day, nobody knows exactly what those reasons were. Since then, NMIXX has been active as a six-piece.
We wish Jini lots of success on her new path!
