Tattoos All Over Her Body… AOA’s Jimin Draws Shocked Attention After Kwon Mina’s ‘Bullying’ Allegations

[Sports Seoul | Reporter Park Chan-hyung] Jimin, formerly of the group AOA, has shared photos from her Chuseok holiday in Hong Kong. Around the same time, former member Kwon Mina mentioned Jimin again, drawing attention to the two women's current situations.

On the 26th, Jimin posted several photos on her social media with the caption, “Chuseok in Hong Kong.”

In the photos, Jimin paired voluminous wavy blonde hair with a black corset-style top and a short knitted bottom. She wore several pearl necklaces and struck various poses in front of the camera. In particular, multiple tattoos extending from her shoulder to her arm and wrist attracted attention.

The following day, the 27th, Kwon Mina posted a lengthy message on her social media, again mentioning the bullying she claims to have experienced in the past. She wrote, “Toward the end, the sound grew quieter and I couldn't manage my expression well, so they put me to sleep with medication,” and “From your perspective, how irritating must it have been that you couldn't bully me any more?”

She continued, “If it were an incident that happened once, 11 years ago, I could forget it. But it is different from what happened over 11 years.” Although she did not directly name Jimin in the post, it is being interpreted as a renewed reference to the bullying allegations she made during AOA's activities in the past. However, Jimin's side has not confirmed its position on the specific allegations contained in this post.

After leaving AOA in 2019, Kwon Mina claimed in 2020 that she had been bullied for a long time by Jimin, who was the group's leader at the time. Jimin subsequently left the group. In June last year, Jimin attended the wedding of Lim Do-hwa, formerly of AOA, also known as Chanmi, and shared photos of herself with the other members.
