Shen Jiarun's voice has received praise from online commentators, who describe it as "quite listenable" and commend her "good vocal timbre." Her father, Xiao Shenyang, expressed his excitement about her debut, saying, "This dancing is nothing like me, so cool!" The news of her debut has been covered by various media outlets, including Hangzhou Daily and Zonglan News.
Prior to her official debut, hints about her music career had been circulating. During Xiao Shenyang's concert on May 31, 2025, he hinted at a mysterious guest performance, which sparked speculation about his daughter's involvement in the music industry. Additionally, reports emerged about Xiao Shenyang adapting his daughter's song "Meimei Sannai" into a Chinese version, further fueling rumors about her impending debut.

Shen Jiarun, also known as Nina, has undergone a transformation from her former identity as Shen Quanrui, a name that has been associated with a different individual, Ricky, a K-pop idol from the group ZB1. The confusion between Shen Quanrui and Xiao Shenyang's daughter has led to difficulties in gauging public sentiment and reaction to her debut.
Despite the challenges in assessing the broader implications of her debut, Shen Jiarun's entry into the K-pop scene marks an exciting development in the industry. As the daughter of a well-known comedian, her music career is likely to attract attention from fans of her father and K-pop enthusiasts alike.
Other notable individuals associated with Shen Jiarun include Lu Kewei VV, who appeared alongside her in a dance video for "Freeze!" and Shen Yunzhu, whose relationship to Shen Quanrui is unclear.
For now, Shen Jiarun's debut has generated significant interest, and fans are eagerly awaiting her future performances and releases. As she embarks on her music career, she is poised to make a name for herself in the competitive K-pop industry, separate from her father's fame.
