The surprising activity of former NMIXX member Jini recently has started to gain attention.
Following Jini’s departure from NMIXX, the idol was criticized for her career path and also incidents with her attitude, where many called her an “influencer.”

Netizens noticed that on the Japanese clothing site GRL, there was a banner with Jini as the model, seemingly teasing a collection between the brand and the idol.
The brand has several collaborations with celebrities and Jini’s photo joins the likes of social influence Song Ji A and singer Mikami Yua. When you click on Jini’s name, a number of items appear with Jini as the model.
Clicking on each item, which can be found by searching Jini on the site, showcases the idol’s visuals as she exudes elegance and sophistication.
The photo shoot was shared by a Jini fan account.

Yet, one user shared their concerns that Jini was doing modeling and not being an idol.
지니가 왜 일본 쇼핑몰 모델을 하고있어!!!
아직 21살이고 능력치 썩히기 아까운데 과거는 잊고 다시 아이돌해줘….. pic.twitter.com/tcy5XMsGsj— 수파두파💫 (@SUPADUPAMY) November 21, 2024
Why is Jini working as a model for a Japanese shopping mall?!
She’s still only 21, and it’s such a waste of her talents. Please forget the past and come back as an idol…

Eh, it’s really Jin, what is she doing at GRL?
While it could just be modeling and not a sign of a career change, Jini hasn’t released an album in over a year, and many think it would be a shame if she didn’t continue in music.
