Former AOA member Kwon Mina attempted an extreme act on New Year's Day and was dramatically rescued about two hours later, a fact that came to light and sent shockwaves. Above all, OSEN reporting confirmed that Kwon Mina canceled a scheduled engagement just before the incident due to severe psychological distress, adding to the regret. Although she declared war on malicious commenters, her social media is actually full of supportive comments.
On the 1st, OSEN reporting found that Kwon Mina had a scheduled engagement before the attempt but canceled it and then became unreachable. Afterward, the crisis became known through social media, and fortunately she was rescued quickly and is not in life-threatening condition.
After the rescue, Kwon Mina conveyed on social media mixed feelings of gratitude and apology and, in a long post, poured out memories of suffering she had not been able to speak about, including childhood domestic violence, severe financial hardship, violence suffered during adolescence, and wounds from her time as an idol. The post and photos have since all been deleted.
Her agency warned of legal action against malicious slander and spreading false information, but much of the reaction continuing on social media and online communities is full of support rather than criticism.
Fans have been sending messages such as "thank you for staying alive," "no explanation or excuse is necessary," "we are always behind you," "please remember you are not alone," and "recovery comes before activity now." In particular, responses such as "I could feel how hard it has been from the writing," "thank you for holding on," and "I hope Mina learns to love herself the most now" have continued, showing that there is clearly a voice saying they will support and wait for Kwon Mina.
Kwon Mina, who debuted with AOA in 2012, went through a long and difficult time after leaving the group due to various controversies and personal issues. But in light of this incident, fans are responding with concern and support, saying "what is needed now is a safe period of recovery."
Despite the situation, Kwon Mina's first solo fan meeting will proceed as scheduled. According to officials, the fan meeting to be held on the 23rd at H-Stage in Seogyo-dong, Mapo District, Seoul, is being prepared without changes. An official said, "We are closely monitoring her condition and the situation, and for now we plan to proceed as scheduled."
Fans hope that Kwon Mina will know that there are far more people supporting her than she might think and that she is by no means alone, and they await her happiness and activities.
