[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Heo Midam] Singer Park Jimin delivered a sharp rebuke to a malicious commenter leaving sexually harassing remarks.

On the 9th, Park Jimin revealed messages exchanged with the malicious commenter on her Instagram.

In the messages, when the commenter sexually harassed her by saying, "Jimin's XX has grown a lot," Park Jimin responded, "Shut up, you crazy b****."

Then, when the commenter said, "You shut up, XXX. The XX really did grow well. You're really angry," Park Jimin replied, "After replying a few times, do you think we're friends now? Get a grip. If you're older than me, there's really no hope, and if you're younger, I just think you're an immature brat. It was exhausting dealing with you. Get lost."

Later, on the 12th, she posted another message saying, "Don't care what shape, just love the way u are," along with a photo of herself holding a drawing depicting part of the female body in front of a mirror.

However, as of the 15th, the post has been deleted.

Last October, she warned of strong action, saying, "With just one photo of me, there are sexually harassing comments about breast surgery I never had, people sending photos of their bodies via DM while mentioning sexual relations, commenters comparing me to certain fruits, and messages like these?I will report them all."

Park Jimin was the winner of SBS's 'K-pop Star Season 1' in 2012 and officially debuted in the music industry in October of the same year as part of the duo 15& with Baek Yerin.

Afterwards, she began her solo career in April 2015 with the single "Hopeless Love," and last August, she ended her exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment. Recently, she has been actively promoting by releasing the OST for "Catch the Ghost."
