[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Actress Kwon Mina, formerly of girl group AOA, apologized after attempting an extreme act following her revelations about a former member and the agency.

On the 11th, Kwon Mina posted on her Instagram, saying, "I am truly sorry for disappointing many of you who have shown concern and support once again."

She stated, "I apologize once more to everyone who was harmed because of me and to many who were shocked after seeing that photo," adding, "When I was unconscious that day, former FNC members stayed by my side all night."

She continued, "Today, I had a meeting with Chairman Han Sung-ho," and said, "I really liked FNC and AOA, but it was very sad and difficult to leave AOA because of this issue."

She added, "Listening to the chairman today, I could feel his sincerity, and I regret that it has come to this," and apologized to the fans, acquaintances, family, and AOA fans who are having a hard time because of her.

Furthermore, she said, "I will reflect and receive treatment diligently so that such incidents never happen again. I am truly sorry."

Earlier, on the 3rd of last month, Kwon Mina revealed on her Instagram that she had been bullied by fellow group member Jimin for 11 years during AOA's activities and shared traces of past extreme attempts.

Then, on the 8th, she posted on Instagram, "I won't go unfairly. Shin Jimin, Han Sung-ho, Kim Seol-hyun, live well. Those who said I was a bystander without knowing how I was treated for 11 years, remember this well. Those people are trash beyond words," and subsequently attempted an extreme act, leading to her being transported to the emergency room.

Afterward, Kwon Mina was discharged on the 9th and is currently resting at home with her mother.

Below is the full text of Kwon Mina’s Instagram post.
