Career

Jini began her journey in the entertainment industry as a trainee under JYP Entertainment in 2016. Her first public appearance came in 2019 when she featured in 2 PM member Nichkhun’s music video for Lucky Charm. In August 2021, she was introduced as one of the first three members of the upcoming girl group NMIXX through a dance performance video.

Her official debut with NMIXX took place on February 22, 2022, with the release of their single album Ad Mare and its lead track, O.O. The group quickly gained attention for its distinctive sound and concept, highlighting Jini’s versatility as a vocalist, dancer, and rapper.

Despite the promising start, Jini’s time with NMIXX was brief. On December 9, 2022, JYP Entertainment announced her departure from the group and the agency due to personal reasons, sparking widespread speculation about her future.

After several months of hiatus, she signed an exclusive contract with United Artist Production (later rebranded as ATOC) in April 2023 to pursue a solo career. She also partnered with Sublime for acting management and rebranded herself, changing her stage name from “Jinni” to “Jini.”

Her solo debut came on October 11, 2023, with the EP An Iron Hand in a Velvet Glove, featuring songs like C’mon (featuring Aminé) and Bad Reputation. While the EP saw modest commercial success, selling over 55,000 copies, it received positive feedback from fans for its experimental sound and emotional depth.

In early 2024, Jini continued her musical journey by releasing the single Starlight, further establishing her presence as a soloist. She also expanded her career into acting, announcing in November 2024 that she had been cast in the film Boy, set for release in early 2025.

Meanwhile, her influence in the fashion and beauty industry grew as she was named Monsoon’s new muse for the skincare brand in September 2023. As of February 2025, Jini remains active in music and acting, steadily building her career as an artist while maintaining a strong connection with her fans.
