In an article, fans and internet users think that THIS girl group is "being ignored" by JYP Entertainment's founder, Jinyoung Park.
On February 17, a netter took to the online forum, Nate Pann to talk about alleged J.Y. Park's least favorite among JYP artists.
In an article titled, "Don't you think Park Jinyoung is not interested in NMIXX?" the OP emphasized how the only time that the label's founder posted about the girl group on his personal Instagram was when they debuted.
The OP continued:
"This is too much... Is it because he doesn't care about them? I've always felt that NMIXX doesn't match Park Jinyoung's music color."
Is NMIXX JY Park's 'Least' Favorite JYP Artist?
In the post, the OP attached screenshots of how Park Jinyoung would often express his love to JYP artists during their respective comebacks.
For ITZY, he praised them during their comeback with "BORN TO BE" and said:
"Cannot but love these girls, kind and humble with undeniable extraordinary talents. I'm always proud of you."
He also showed admiration to TWICE when they released "Moonlight Sunrise" and said:
"Of course, I love all of the songs that our artists release but sometimes there are songs that perfectly match my personal taste, and this is definitely one of them."

J.Y. Park also left messages of appreciation when Stray Kids and Day6 Young K made their releases last year, but NMIXX didn't receive anything for their comeback with "Fe304: BREAK."
The last time he wrote about them was when they received 200k sales certification from Hanteo and said:
"But please remember that there are times that results are not this great."
K-Netz Defend JYP Founder, Explain Why Park Jinyoung Is 'Ignoring' NMIXX
Following the post, there are claims that the label's founder is playing favorites, and among his least favorites is the girl group NMIXX.
However, netizens defended J.Y. Park and revealed that he wasn't deliberately ignoring them, but rather, he just gets involved with them rarely because another person was in charge of the girl group.
While Park is massively involved in producing TWICE and ITZY, NMIXX was created and picked by Director Lee Ji Young. In fact, NMIXX once shared his thoughtfulness by sharing that Park once invited them to his house to have a meal together.
Here are some of the comments:
- "He made the group, but he wasn't involved in making it so maybe that's why... I heard that director Lee Ji Young selected and produced it."
- "It was a group that was created without Park Jinyoung's involvement in the first place. If he posted something like that, he would be criticized for only interfering."
- "I think it's because they were the group that took Park Jinyoung's least effort when forming the group in the first place, but if you listen to the members, he even invited them to his house and ate together."
- "Yes, but behind the scenes, I know that he took good care of NMIXX, helped them with recording, choreographed their dance, invited them to his house, ate with them, brought members to the broadcast, and filmed challenges together."
