Kwon Mina Reflects on Past Experiences in New Social Media Post

Former AOA member Kwon Mina discussed her past experiences in a lengthy social media post shared on September 27. Her comments indirectly referred again to former AOA leader Shin Jimin and the bullying Mina says she endured for 11 years.

Mina said her mental health has improved significantly in recent times. She recalled that she once struggled to refuse requests, even when they were unreasonable or beyond what she could manage. According to her account, she would initially agree and feel pleased when completing the request brought even a small compliment.

She said that repeatedly agreeing eventually led to uncomfortable comments from others. Mina wrote that, after enduring these experiences as matters approached their end, her voice became quieter and she found it difficult to control her facial expressions. She then questioned whether she had been given drugs to make her sleep. Mina also said she eventually began refusing to back down and stopped allowing unfair or hurtful situations to pass without a response, explaining that her past experiences shaped this change.
