[Trigger Warning/Content Warning: Mentions of Bullying and Suicide]
Kwon Mina, a former AOA member, who is known to have experienced bullying from her bandmate Jimin once again made a long post as she hits back at a netizen who is assumed to be Jimin's fan.
On Monday, Jan. 18, Kwon Mina took to Instagram to share several screenshots showing comments and messages from a particular fan of former AOA member Jimin, revealing that she has been getting harassed by the netizen. Based on the photos, the fan is claiming that Mina is accusing Jimin without any proof. The Korean celebrity didn't blur out the user's name, which is unveiled to be "a5aforever" and has a profile picture of Jimin and Seolhyun together.

In the caption of the post, Mina wrote that she has been starting to feel better than before as she recently met new good people and spent her time taking photos, making cream, and having pictorials. However, she said that she saw many people mentioning the incident that happened in July and August in the comments or through direct messages. But since she is tired of refuting and doesn't want to think about it all over again, she erased them and blocked the users.
The actress also mentioned that many people who support "that person" (which is Shin Jimin) said harsh words about her, claiming that she made Jimin a "murderer" without any proof. Kwon also shared, "More and more Koreans and foreigners call me a murderer and a crazy person with delusions and lies." She added, "Isn't it time to stop talking about it? I really, really want to stop hearing about that incident and that person."
The former AOA member then explained why she didn't show any proof. She stated that there's no reason to bring up the bullying controversy once again. Mina again mentioned that she cut her wrists because of Jimin's treatment toward her. She continued, "Also, from now on, I'm going to delete comments and block people who talk about this. I repeat I was a victim who had to bear with it for 10 years." The idol concluded her post asking people to stop giving or sending her malicious comments.

Apart from her lengthy post, Kwon Mina also uploaded a photo of her diagnosis from a certain hospital. The diagnosis read that she received treatment from Feb. 27, 2016 to March 20, 2018. The hospital also wrote there that she had been bullied by the group leader and had attempted to take her own life several times.
In the caption, Mina wrote, "The hospital said I had begun taking sleeping pills starting from when I was 20/21. It was 2015-2016 when it started to become harder to bear her (Jimin). I went to this hospital until March 20, 2018, and then moved from one hospital to another, but even pills don't work anymore. This is so sad."
Back in July 2020, a bullying controversy arose involving two AOA members, Mina and Jimin. Mina confessed at that time that she was bullied by their group leader, Shin Jimin, for a total of 10 years. Kwon is still active in the entertainment industry, while Shin has retired as a celebrity following the scandal.
