In 2020, Kwon Mina accused Shin Jimin of prolonged bullying, which also led to the latter's departure from AOA. The controversy arose drastically along the way, as the public perception was rocked back and forth through countless forums discussing both Mina's and Jimin's sides.
"FNC Entertainment has worked with AOA with mutual trust, and we will continue to fully support the five members who renewed their exclusive contracts. However, Mina, who has been with the agency for seven years, has decided to leave the agency to follow her path."
We have decided to respect her choice, ultimately leading to the termination of her exclusive contract and her departure from AOA. We would like to ask you to support Mina in this difficult choice."
