Kwon Mina continued her tirade against AOA, her former group, one year after making accusations that she was bullied.
In her recent social media posts on Instagram, she again targeted Shin Jimin, the former leader of AOA who left the group and retired from the entertainment industry after Mina said in July last year that she bullied her during her trainee days and while she was in the girl group.
Mina took to Instagram Live on July 5 and said there was an AOA member who liked having sex. One netizen made a comment, saying, "There is even an article saying that there is a member who likes to have sex. The online community is sexually harassing and speculating who it is. The members have been hurt once again, are you not responsible for what you did?"
As a reply, Mina wrote, “Oh, that is Shin Jimin.”
Korean netizens in online communities commented that Mina should stay away from social media and get psychotherapy.
In July last year, Mina revealed that Jimin brought a man to AOA’s dormitory and got intimate with him.
Mina herself became embroiled in a controversy over a man. Last month, she posted a photo of herself with a man on Instagram, which she identified as her boyfriend.
However, it turned out that at the time, the man, identified only by the surname Yoo, had a girlfriend. This blew up and Mina and Yoo were accused of cheating. Mina apologized and parted ways with the man.
In an Instagram post, Mina wrote, “I'm sorry about everything. I'm really sorry that I have caused everyone's anger to the point that all kinds of comments were made because of me. The pain of 10 years has been cruel to me. I just wanted to say this. I'm going to put everything down and quietly reflect on myself for the time being.” Last July 3, Korean fans of AOA issued a statement to refute Mina’s claims that Jimin bullied her and to point out that Jimin never admitted in her apology that she bullied Mina. “I really didn’t want to leave AOA, but I went through so much for the last 10 years and I had enough of her bullying. That’s why I had to give up on AOA although I was on great terms with all the other members,” Mina posted on July 3, 2020, SBS News reported.
