REPORTER LEE JIN HO EXPLAINS THE REASON WHY MINA IS CONTUNUOUSLY ATTACKING JIMIN

  • Things she did after her departure from AoA are her doings but alot of it would have been avoided if FNC just let her go instead of making her Jimin's problem to deal with!


    I mean she realized she is not cut out for it, she requested to be removed but FNC set the penalty fee too high for her to pay!


    I recognize that she had enough self awareness to know it wont work.

    I get what u mean, but if things worked like that all idols that want to leave their agencies cuz somebody else offered them better opportunity could just pretend that this is not for them and demend a leave.. agencies need to kinda protect themselves so idols don`t just breach the contract since agencies invest alot in trainees


    Also Mina lazying around in a hotel it seems like she was just plain lazy not struggling (like SM let Sulli leave f(x), YG let that Winner guy leave) Mina should have just bite her tounge till her contract expires she isn`t entitled for FNC to terminate her contract after they invested a lot in her

  • Stories like these make you think companies should get rid of trouble makers asap. Of course an idol can make up a bullying narrative even if they stayed for one year only. But at least they couldn't claim to have been bullied FOR TEN YEARS STRAIGHT like Mina did.


    It reminds me of Nine Muses's early days. Their CEO booted Jaekyung out of the group right after their debut because of her lack of commitment. Of course the management was horrible; I'm not praising the company's overall methods. But at least there was a silver lining: all the girls who sticked with the group wanted to be there and gave it their all. No freeloaders who gonna backstab you somewhere down the line.

  • I don't doubt that Mina has mental illness and is struggling but that does not excuse her actions. From the beginning she said she has proof of bullying but that proof has never materialized. She used threats of suicide and self harm to get people on her side. Everytime she is questioned on her lies and conflicting stories she threatens self harm and posts bloody pictures of wrists. Threatening suicide is a common tactic among abusive people to manipulate others. I don't think Jimin is completely innocent but Mina is definitely not innocent either. Mina has also repeatedly slut-shamed Jimin on social media. She has been acting maliciously too.

  • I say this as someone who has a family history of depression and mental illness.


    These people are often black holes. In that they suck everything around them into their own narrative of self centeredness, even if they don't' realize it, don't intend to be that way, or have mental problems that sometimes work against their holding complete agency for this fact.


    They are often extremely hard to live with/be around. Their situation often expects so much from those around them to the point of it being unfair, unreasonable, and destructive.


    It's great that we as a modern society are trying to understand the nuance and realities of depression and mental illness. These people do need our help and understanding.


    But accommodation and acquiescence to their situation should not have the expectation of being limitless. We can't, as a society, except everyone around these individuals to always be required to give in to their their destructive nature.


    Often the limitless understanding must fall to the family members (who are motivated by love ideally) or institutional/medical community (who are motivated by societal collective need). But beyond that I think regular individuals cannot be held captive to it. It is ultimately unfair to them (and can be seen as abusive in certain respects).


    In this situation, it is unfair for the rest of the group to take on this burden of dealing with such an unfair responsibility as it comes to Mina, how very real her mental problems may be.


    I hope Mina can get the help and support she needs. But she must also not be indulged to take an endless path of destruction for those around her. At some point we have to say. Stop. I hear you. I understand. But that doesn't excuse you doing this nor taking it out on those around you.


    Hopefully those closest to her can help direct her to focus on herself and actions she can take to move forward or get help. Rather than her indulging this need to externalize blame for her troubles on those around her in perpetuity. She needs to build and repair herself. She needs to look inward rather than outward.


    And the group should not have to pay penance for this indefinitely. It is ultimately, not their burden nor their fault.
