Netizens' comments:

(+3967,-25) How much has she bothered you to make a person like that?

(+3768,-20) First of all, I think people around you need to take care of you so that you can relax. ㅠㅠ  I feel bad and my heart hurt.

(+3376,-22) It's so shocking.

(+563,-4) Ah, but fnc is really too much...
Her father's in critical condition but she's on a schedule?
Are you approving the fact that the team's relationship isn't as good as that scar?

(+486,-10) Choia, it's your turn to go.

(+418,-6) I'm not interested in idol groups, but whenever they're on variety shows, Jimin and Seolhyun always do everything together. There are other members next to them, but it just look like you hated it. You've been ignoring the other members behind you.

[avarice]

honestly if someone is opening up about their struggles with personal issues, mental health and suicide, and your first reaction is to call it 'fiction'... yeesh, some soul searching and therapy and SEVERAL servings of humble pie for jimin please.

and I hope mina can find strength moving forward, and her fans can support her. it sounds like she's already taking steps to heal so I'm wishing her best of luck 

[pinkpanda_spirit]

I really hope mina will be fine and is surrounded by her family... and if jimin really is the cause of all of this I hope she pays for it. and I would be pretty disappointed in seolhyun for being bff with her after knowing all of this...

I want to hear Jimin’s side first but if it’s true, and AOA members did not do anything with the alleged bullying (specially since Choa is the oldest, not Jimin), I’ll be very disappointed. Not only with Seolhyun, but to all of them.

True.

No matter what the truth is, that was super distasteful.

[Tarted]

There's no excuses to it. Even if Jimin explains herself, doesn't change the fact that she was really disrepectful and not considering for others feelings.
I always enjoyed AOA's music, but since Choa left I started wondering how healthy the group's relationship was, and now Mina show us this... 

[valeriekmy96]

Saying a victim's story of being bullied for 10 years a "fiction" is like saying a big "fuck you" to the victim's feelings, jimin really dug her own grave this time

[hynapia]

Jimin has showed to have 0 empathy. I've lost all my respect for her tbh.

[Bash]

Mixed feelings with this situation. But let's be real, Mina is obviously looking for revenge not a sincere apology.  Not sure why she bother asking for something she'll never get esp after you air your dirty laundry like that so publicly. She left jimin and aoa out to dry. I don't see how they can continue their group. Even if jimin gets kicked out, the whole team will be deemed guilty anyways. 

Hope she gets the help she needs. In fact everyone in aoa is gonna need some sort of support system since they all have become an easy target. I don't know who right or wrong, what's real or not. But bringing strangers who are not directly involved into the mix is going to bring more mess and drama as if we don't already have enough. Knets, Inets, or just ppl who like the drama will gossip and nitpick at everything and anything they have on Mina, jimin and aoa and blow it up to fit their own narrative. Something like that can cause major mental health issues. 

Of course I want justice for victim. If you've endure years of bullying, I would want some sort of karma or justice to happen. But it feels like it might just be an endless cycle of hate being passed around. I don't know how they will resolve this situation. What type of justice will be enough? 

Btw I can understand why jimin said 'fiction' during this situation. If you're being accused of being a bully of 10 yr and being the sole cause of her to self harm, I can understand the anger esp if it's not true. Nobody wants to be treated like a monster. I don't think she was necessarily saying that Mina mental health was 'fiction' but the fact that she (jimin) was the reason to all her (Mina) problems.  Of course we will never know the true meaning...

This is such a mess. 

I'm not siding with jimin, of course base on what info we have. Clearly, jimin is in the wrong. But we have to wait to hear her side as well...if we ever get it

Mina is out on a mission, she won't stay silent any longer. I'm proud of her courage but genuinely concern whether she is able to continue the uphill battle in such a courageous way.. because things r just getting started. Continue to give Mina words of support on her ig

surely there must be a better way to deny the claims against her than a vague one word instagram story that basically trivializes all the personal things mina shared. and sure, a lot of things are up in the air right now, but mina's suffering is not; she provided ample proof of it on her instagram.

that deleted story didnt help ANYONE, including jimin; if anything it just reinforced the idea that she doesnt care about mina's mental health whatsoever

You understand jimin but don’t understand mina??

look at her hand, put the facts aside since we don’t know someone here with mentql health issue and it’s obv not fake but Jimin being rude about it and call it fiction?? What kind of person is that

If I was mina I would have done way more than that

If anyone paid attention to mina and her struggles in those 10 years maybe she wouldn’t come to this point.... her fans and public isn’t strangers dragging them into this, if Jimin is really that kind of person and as AOA no members actually tried to help I’m grateful I come to know what kind of person I’m following

I didn't say I didn't understand Mina? 

She clearly went through hell and back and is still going through shit. I'm just saying this whole thing is not good for her mental health. Sure she was able to get everything off her chest. But now she has to deal with the extra trolls that knows her vulnerabilty. It's her cry for help. I hear and deeply empathize. I hope she recovers. I hope she finds peace. 

[GlenCoco]

Poor Mina,

I understand what she is going through,  when i was 13 I was also bullied and considered to take my life many time, I know its hard for her talking about this so publicly, she is brave and I have more respect for this angel, I hope she is having all the help she need and all the confront from friends and family because this is not an easy topic to talk about.

 

And for Jim, I hope she talks about this, this would hurt AOA so much and idk if there will be any comeback after this, but the most important thing I hope she apologize to Min, she does something that can make Mina have some kind of peace.

 

It's not time to hate on Jimin or say bad thing about her, because we are just doing the same,  right now we should just be focusing on Mina, giving her kind words and our support.

 

If we want to bring some anger towards someone its FNC

 

Lets not do the same lets just focus on giving Mina our love

 

I do hope both party have some kind of healing

I agree. There r better ways. Or it could easily mean what everyone else thinks it means. Jimin could be the exact bully that Mina puts her to be. The point is, we really don't know. Ppl at jimin side will defend her and ppl at Mina side will defend her

[Danee Danee]

If Jimin disagreed with her claims, she should explain it more, not just with one word. Saying it like this is leaving just bad taste... 

Mina is heading for revenge now. In her state I wouldnt take everything she says literally though. But she is clearly someone who suffered a lot. 

One thing is weird. She claimed she did this to her wrist during promotion with AOA. When she skipped training because being scared of Jimin. How comes her fans havent noticed until few months ago when she started to post and delete photos where it was mildly visible...? Cover scars is much harder then cover tattoos especially on wrists. And the scars are brutal tbh. 

Seriously hope she is safe now and will go to therapy and find peace in her heart. She needs it. The last three black squares looked really painful from machine translate.

someone on reddit mentioned this, I don't follow AOA so I don't know if what they said is true or not: 

Quote

in one of the translations Mina mentioned that in one incident where Jimin was extremely horrible to her the members bravely went up to Jimin and tried to talk to her about it, but Jimin said she doesnt see that she did anything wrong and brushed them all off. Mina mentioned that in that moment she wondered whether jimin had human conscience or not

EDIT: it was a single member according to other translations, not all of them.

There are also speculations that Choa also left the group due to bullying from Jimin as well, so I don't know why you're bringing Choa into this. 

I also saw someone mentioning that bullies can have a way of hiding the fact that they're bullying someone to everyone but the victims and that's why the other members never said anything: 

Quote

 There are tons of people out there that know how to play the system. You can say cruel things without anyone hearing it but the victim. You can roll your eyes, sigh, make noises, little comments and it doesn't seem "that bad" but the victim feels and hears everything. It's also possible the bystanders/other members were afraid of Jimin, afraid they would be the next target. Not saying that's right, but FNC didn't do shit for any of them. It's obvious they knew they were all in a helpless position whether they spoke out or stayed silent.

Choa is rumored to have left because of bullying from Jimin and there's a very likely possibility that Jimin bullied Mina in private away from others so they don't see or know. Mina even alluded to it when she said Jimin took her into the closet of their waiting room to tell her to stop crying because she was bringing the mood down.

Bruh, what the fuck. She's not looking for revenge. She's acknowledging her suffering and is being honest about it. It's one of the healthiest things she could do for herself and one of the first steps to start her healing process. It's a pity you don't understand that. When someone says they suffered because of you you don't go out there calling it fiction. You wonder what you could have done wrong, apologize sincerely and tries to acknowledge the victim's feelings, even if you don't think you did anything to harm the person directly. That's what a decent response is. Each human is different, we don't know how they interpret things so just because you think you didnt do anything wrong doesnt mean the other person will see it that way.

[HRH Ayyu]

I wish people would stop bringing up tara. This is complete different.

I was around during the t-ara mess, hwayoung didn't flat accuse anyone of bullying / talk about suicide. Hwayoung strategically kept quiet n rode public sentiment.

Mina already stated that "unnie" took her to closet & told her to stfu (hence, probablythe other members didn't know). She said she was fine with the other member + they hang out after she lofted rhe group.

I understand where you're coming from. Of course I don't know for sure if it was for revenge or something more genuine and sincere. I see things differently because humans react differently to pain. When you get into a car accident, some ppl react in worry and concern while others take out their anger and rage. When youve endure bullying for 10 yrs. I don't think it would be weird to not want revenge and for jimin to feel the same suffering she had endured this whole time ( I would want the same). It's very human to have such raw and combative emotions. There is nothing wrong with feeling that way. Tbh I see it both as revenge and her steps towards healing. She is finally letting everything out, outing jimin and bearing her wounds for everyone to see. Decent response is what society deems as appropriate. You must act a certain way, you must be generous, forgiving, understanding. If someone says you have wronged them, you should be understanding and reflect on your actions. That is not always the case. Humans are intricate beings that go through complex emotions. They can be 'decent' but they can also have a 180 change. 

She wants a sincere apology but it's been 10 yrs already. If jimin was genuinely sorry, she would have said so before all this (she had 10 yrs) All this will create is a forced apology imo. But if this is what she needs to move forward, then so be it. I think she needs to completely cut jimin out of her life and focus on self healing.

? What

I'm saying jimin had 10 yrs to apology to her but didn't. So don't get your hopes up

Never once did I say I knew her personally. Nor do I think she did anything wrong. Her state of mind is as complex as the next person.
