Jimin: Former AOA member gave up his career because of bullying s.candal that shook South Korea

AOA used to be a g.irl group loved by many people, and the careers of the members, especially leader Jimin, used to be very open. However, when the s.candal hit, Jimin became a "criminal" in the eyes of Korean netizens.

Jimin is a Korean female idol singer and rapper. She is a former member of the K-pop group AOA, which debuted in 2012, which is managed by FNC Entertainment. In 2016, Jimin (AOA) debuted as a solo collaboration with Xiumin (EXO). On May 13, 2019, Jimin (AOA) left the group.

Jimin (AOA) was born on January 8, 1991 in Seoul, South Korea. As a c.hild, she used to learn to play the guitar, harmonica, and piano. From his sophomore year in High School to his first year in Graduate School, Jimin (AOA) studied abroad at a Chinese language school. While in China, she also attended an actual music school.

In 2012, Jimin made his official debut as an AOA member alongside Mina on Mnet's M!Countdown with the song "Elvis" from their debut album, Angels' Story. She is also a part of the group AOA Black, which was formed in 2013. Jimin (AOA) wrote the rap for AOA Black's single "Moya".

In early 2015, Jimin was part of the Unpretty Rapstar magazine show. Unpretty Rapstar - a survival show for female rappers. The program consists of a single elimination contest through rap performances.

After the show, she released several T4SA albums and the song Good Start, which was produced by Verbal Jint and reached number 2 on the Singles Chart Gaon. In addition, she is also an actor in the TV show Off to School starting on March 17, 2015.

Jimin made his solo debut on March 3, 2016 with the single "Call You Bae" with EXO's Ximin. The single is the first version of Jimin's #OOTD solo project.

On July 3, 2020, former AOA member Mina accused Jimin in an Instagram post that Jimin had bullied her for 10 years, which led Mina to leave AOA in 2019. Later, Jimin tried to deny Mina's claims on Instagram that were completely fictional but failed to appease public opinion.

Not stopping, on the Pann forum at that time, a g.irl who claimed to be a former trainee of FNC - the management company of the group AOA also spoke out against Jimin, making the internal drama even more intense. This g.irl told the story of herself being bullied by Jimin herself when she was practicing in the company.

"I left FNC after 2 years, a p.eriod that left me exhausted both physically and mentally. I wasn't too prominent but somehow managed to join the company. My older sister SJM (Jimin) always criticized my appearance (and if someone complimented me, she would give me a burning glare). She threw the monthly review paper in my face, deliberately bumped into me every time she passed by, and even punched me with her fist.

I feel suffocated every time I remember the time I cried for 2 hours in front of the gym door because I didn't want to walk into it. The members of that group may seem close, but in fact, they treat each other according to the laws of the forest. Everyone was very reserved and cautious when dealing with her, who always tried to divide the members internally..."

Although Jimin has announced his departure from the entertainment industry, every half a month, Mina continues to post posts accusing Jimin and AOA, the more she posts, the more irregularities are revealed. At this time, Dispatch came to e.xpose Mina's false words, so that netizens had a more multi-dimensional view of the case.

Employees who used to work with AOA also accused Mina of being too sensitive, with a lack of seriousness. From here, public opinion began to change. After that, Mina herself was also involved in the s.candal of being the third person to rob someone else's boyfriend in mid-2021, smoking in a hotel... making her gradually lose the public's sympathy.

Along with many other evidences from AOA fans and especially a 128-minute conversation, revealing everything Mina and Jimin said to each other in July 2020 partly shows the truth of the story. Netizens simultaneously "turned the car", no longer defending Mina, but switched to looking for information and Jimin's current situation.

After announcing his retirement, Shin Jimin was very secretive. A netizen who claimed to be Jimin's neighbor said, "I couldn't see her face clearly because she was always wearing a mask and a hat, but I still recognized it as Jimin. I don't know if she's getting any thinner, because she's been very thin before. I feel a little sorry because she always bows her head when she goes out."

At that time, netizens thought that Jimin was no longer a singer, but she still had the ability to compose, perhaps she would continue to make a living with this knack.

In July 2022, Jimin officially signed an artist contract with the entertainment company ALOMALO Entertainment, preparing to return to the entertainment industry. Through her new company, she said that she had a time to calm down to think about herself, and at the same time hoped that the audience would continue to watch her upcoming efforts.

Before this news, most Vietnamese netizens showed great support for Jimin, and did not forget about Mina's "coffee".
