May I Know is it prononuce as ImNIda or InMIda???

Hihi! I'm confused with the pronounciation of ImNIda and InMida??
Those who know, can you please tell me the correct pronounciation??
Does the NI or MI always stays in the middle of the word??
Like ImNIka? Or InMIka?

Thank You!

It's [iMnida]/[iMnikka].

This is because ㅂ, which is a bilabial consonant, becomes [ㅁ] (also a bilabial consonant) when it precedes a nasal consonant, which in this case is [ㄴ].
