The K-Pop sensation NMIXX, who burst onto the scene in 2022, has been the talk of the town lately. However, their journey hasn't been entirely smooth sailing, as member Jinni's sudden departure at the end of last year left fans surprised and concerned.
Now, netizens find themselves in a whirlwind of mixed reactions as fans' videos suggesting the introduction of a new member have taken the internet by storm.
Although the auditions are scheduled for August, the online application deadline was indicated as July 3, as highlighted in a TikTok video that has amassed over a million views.
While it is important to note that all of these speculations are based on circumstantial evidence and could be mere coincidences, fans have taken to social media to express their concerns and even outrage at the potential introduction of a new member. Jinni's departure at the end of 2022 is still fresh in their minds, and the thought of another member joining the group is something they find difficult to fathom.

"no one is replacing jinni. and i hope not."
"this makes sense bcs jyp posted the "new wave" audition and it s kinda giving nmixx vibes,but idkk"
"i hope not cause i rlly don't want them to replace jinis old place and if they do the new member is prob gonna get so much hate "
"ppl will def hate on the new member if theres one cos some netizens r just "
"What if that's why jyp is going to America to find another member"
Although adding a new member to an existing group is not a common practice, it wouldn't be unprecedented for JYP Entertainment. The example of Yubin joining Wonder Girls after HyunA's departure serves as a reminder that such changes have occurred before.
As NMIXX's comeback draws nearer, fans will eagerly await official announcements from the group and their agency to shed light on these intriguing theories and put any doubts to rest. Until then, the speculation continues to stir the online K-Pop community, creating an air of anticipation and uncertainty surrounding NMIXX's future endeavors.
