[Asia Economy Reporter Nana] Kwon Mina, a former member of AOA who exposed the bullying incident within the girl idol group, posted another pointed message saying, "The perpetrators do not apologize."


On the 6th, Kwon Mina criticized some media reports on Instagram, saying, "If someone sees this, they might think I was treated well despite being a victim," and added, "The perpetrators and their families still have not apologized or admitted anything. I was unilaterally victimized."


She continued, "Because my way of speaking is strong, do I not look like a victim? I just don't understand why victims live in fear and hide," and said, "The positions of perpetrator and victim have been completely reversed."


A few hours before posting this message, Kwon Mina also wrote a lengthy post on Instagram, stating, "If a vulnerable victim is still suffering somewhere, they should confide in their agency and not continue activities while taking medication."


Kwon Mina began by saying, "I have already met every kind of trash, so I have become tough and numb to most things."


She then expressed anger at being portrayed as "someone who continues to expose even after receiving an apology." She said, "People write about me as if I am someone who cannot let go of anger even after receiving acknowledgment and apology from the perpetrator, as if I falsely accused an innocent person, and articles portray me as a 'good example.' That is absolutely not true. The perpetrators do not apologize. Some do not even admit anything. Saying they don't remember?is that a tactic of the perpetrators?"


She added, "The moment I hear the line, 'I don't think I'm a bad person who would do such a thing,' it gives me chills. That is the perpetrator's way of thinking. I have memories of what happened, so let the victim decide what is true or not," and said, "If things had been resolved well back then (when the incident was exposed), I would have been much better. I have been undergoing treatment for depression for 10 years without improvement, and I am now undergoing all tests and treatments again, including medication and machine therapy, to find the cause."


She also announced, "I am going to tell everything about how I have lived and what I experienced in Seoul soon. I feel I must release all the emotional burdens. Of course, it will be edited and toned down," and emphasized, "(The perpetrators) should see how the victim's life hangs in the balance right in front of them. I am absolutely not a good example."



Previously, in July last year, Kwon Mina revealed that she left the group due to continuous bullying by member Jimin during AOA activities and attempted an extreme act. She later shared a psychiatric medical certificate and said she is still suffering from aftereffects.
