Mina, 27, former member of K-pop girl group AOA, has revealed a psychiatric medical certificate to belie accusations from Koreans and foreigners she had no proof that she suffered bullying from former group leader Shin Jimin.
On July 3 last year, Mina made several posts on Instagram to reveal that she was bullied by Jimin for 10 years from their trainee days until they were in AOA, which drove her to attempt to commit suicide. The group debuted in 2012 and Mina left AOA in May 2019 after her contract expired.
The following day, Jimin posted an apology to Mina on Instagram. Mina was not appeased and revealed Jimin brought a man to AOA’s dormitory and got intimate with him.
