    This debate originated in a popular online community, where users exchanged their views on whether NMIXX's latest track effectively showcased the immense talent possessed by the members.

    Other netizens joined the conversation, providing their own comments:

    "They simply released an easy-to-listen track, and they unveiled the forest fairy concept earlier. How can anyone claim they are copying NewJeans?"

    "They are merely following the trend… Personally, I appreciate the unique charm of JYP girl groups."

    "Sullyoon truly resembles a doll."

    "When people start criticizing them, it usually means they are destined for success."

    "I have no doubt that NMIXX will thrive."

    "I understand they have a similar fairy concept, but for some reason, NMIXX appears slightly gaudy."

    "NMIXX possesses a powerful vocal line, and I hope they receive a song that better showcases their vocal abilities."

    "Considering the number of people slandering NMIXX, it seems like they are destined to make a big impact. Lol."
