NMIXX Shares Advice Given to Them By JYP Seniors
NMIXX also reveals that they were given some advice by their labelmate seniors.
Lily shares the advice she got from an ITZY member. "There were a lot of them, but when I was a trainee I practiced in the same team as ITZY's Chaeryeong. She is a master at performances. She taught me a lot about dancing and helped me put on a good performance," she said.

Jinni also got advice from ITZY's Yeji, saying, "I had fun living in the dorm with ITZY's Yeji when I was a trainee. When I debuted, I became an artist and practiced in the basement. Now that I came down to the basement, she would say, 'This is the beginning.' Even now, we've been getting along since we have been in touch. It has been a great help to me when she gives me a tender hug."
