"I was planning to sleep all day, but I started to receive lots of messages in the morning. I saw that articles were written saying that I was sexually assaulted by a male sunbae who is now a celebrity. I will explain this now because everyone is curious as to whether or not they are famous. He is not that kind of person.."
She also revealed the name of the male who had sexually assaulted her numerous times, but media outlets never published the name. According to Kwon Mina, "He was one or two years old than me, born in 1992 or 1991. He was a popular bully back in the day.

Kwon Mina then stresses that the only perpetrator of bullying and violence is former AOA member and leader Shin Jimin.
"To, the only perpetrator is Shin Jimin," she states. "I just want to shed light on the person who bullied me for over a decade, not the male sunbae who sexually assaulted me."
