Mina Accuses Jimin For Bullying: Attempted Suicide
CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING
Kwon Min-ah who’s known as Mina, the former member of AOA, girl group, has accused her group member, Jimin for bullying. Throughout the claims, the accused member of the group is referred as ‘Unnie’. She asks for an apology for all that she’s been through cause of her.
Mina took to her Instagram to share the heart breaking news, she shared three posts, clearly stating that there are witnesses to the harm she’s suffered during the time in the band and also what she’s dealt with.
In the initial post, Kwon wrote “I really do want to disappear [from the entertainment industry], but I have to look after my mom, I guess now there’s going to be a lot of messages calling me empty-headed. Yes, I am. I didn’t have the chance to become educated because I had to start earning money from a young age for my family.”
Mina also confirmed that “After my dad passed away, when I cried in the waiting room there was an unnie who dragged me to the closet, telling me to stop crying because it was ruining the mood, and I tried to tell her that I was scared. I tried to tell her that I was scared of my dad dying. I can’t ever forget what she said to me then.”
“Any other bullying? Any other harsh words? They’re all fine. It was such a scar but we got in the same car afterward so I forced myself to go to sleep, taking nerve relaxers and sleeping pills. I needed to do a good job with my schedules but I felt myself breaking. I even tried to take my own life because of her once.” She says.
Apparently, the reason Mina left AOA is because of Jimin. She says, “Honestly, I’m okay even if you people never respect me as an idol or an actress. I know I’m terrible, I’m not good at anything. But I was really happy, and I tried really hard. I still love being in this area of work. I was never stressed about being an idol, and in truth, I never wanted to leave AOA; but because of one person who hated me, I gave up after enduring her bullying for 10 years and at the end of it all, I wanted to turn around and curse at her.”
She further explains what led to her trying to commit suicide ” I only revealed one out of 1000000000000 things. Go ahead and say it’s fiction. Unnie will receive punishment for it, don’t be like this. There are witnesses and evidence. I’m sorry but there’s no need to hear from both sides. I have nothing that I did wrong. Right at the end, I was getting my hairline done but the numbing hadn’t worn off yet so I called in advance to say I was going to be late to the dance practice room. But upon hearing unnie‘s voice, I felt that you would kick up a fuss again so I couldn’t even go to the dance practice room. On the day itself, I also attempted suicide.”
Giving more light on the situation, she says” Unnie, it’s way too scary of a story to call it fiction. I went for scar treatments 3~4 times so it got lighter. But unnie, my memories aren’t fading. I’m going crazy each and every day. Jimin unnie – laws? Lawsuits? I don’t have the money to do that. I can’t. Mental health damage compensation? I don’t need it all and I have no intention of getting it. I just feel that it is so, so unfair that I am being ruined by you. It hurts and I’m having a hard time.”
All Mina asks is for an apology from Jimin which we clearly think she deserves. She explains “What I hope is just for you to admit you did wrong, in front of me. Just one sincere apology and that’s it. You who tortured me is living way too well… I’m suffering every day just by opening my eyes. But I need to be the breadwinner for my family. Do admit your fault and apologize. Let me have some release as well, hmm?”
Mina has also shared a picture of her wrist which showcases her scars from when she tried to commit suicide. “She is on medication due to her panic disorder, and we are closely watching her,” an insider told the press.
