Former AOA member Kwon Mina has revealed that she was raped by a celebrity in the past.

On the 7th, Mina held an Instagram live with fans and revealed, "When I was in middle school, I was beaten with beer bottles by my seniors and raped by a famous male senior."

"Since elementary, life in my family became difficult so I had to earn our living expenses as soon as I became a middle school student. There were more days that I worked as a part-timer than went to school. Because I was often absent from school because of my part-time jobs, there were many bad rumors about me. I've even suffered from gang violence."

"I was worried after a friend told me where he was going so I went with him to an empty house where we were hit in the head with beer bottles and kicked. There were several male students behind the male senior that kicked us. This male senior is a famous Yangachi [thug] that anyone would know just by hearing his name. I still remember his name and face."

She added, "I was raped by a male senior. I was so angry. He's a celebrity you'll know right away if I tell you his name. He r*ped me to the point that I couldn't walk well and had to crawl home. I thought something worse would happen if I told my parents so I couldn't report it."

Mina also previously revealed that she was bullied by AOA's leader Jimin who has since left the group.

Netizen comments:

  1. [+3,462, -22] Who's the famous yangachi everyone would know just by hearing his name..?!
  2. [+1,395, -35] Aigoo...she lived with so much hardship and must've tried hard to live brightly but then got trampled again by her group while trying to achieve her dream...its a pity.
  3. [+741, -13] Mina-ya, you must've suffered. Don't be patient anymore. Reveal the name of the celebrity that did this to you and out his dirty deeds. Be courageous one more time!
  4. [+625, -6] Hul~her articles are always so shocking. I hope you can overcome this and live a better and healthier life from now. I hope your wounds heal in the future..
  5. [+523, -18] Reveal that r*pist bully's name confidently!! We won't let you down anymore.
  6. [+63, -2] Who's the famous yang-a-chi celebrity from Busan Haeundae University in 1992? Turn yourself in.
  7. [+53, -2] I have a feeling that celebrity is going to quietly contact her first and buy her silence. It's already been a year since her initial revelations but hakpok has become a movement. Unless the netizen investigation team is activated, I fear we'll never have any real answers...
  8. [+36, -3] Ah ~ someone must be trembling hard right nowㅋㅋ
  9. [+15, -2] The netizen investigation team has been dispatched...let's reveal the male celebrity senior that attended the same school as Mina..

1. [+337, -3] Reveal who it is. If you see trash in the street, pick it up and throw it away. You shouldn't avoid it just because it's dirty. Kwon Mina, find strength. The public will help you. Please muster your bravery. Trust that this country has more people fighting for justice than not.

2. [+168, -5] It hasn't been long since we've been able to reach a society where we could confess to something like this. She has nothing to lose, and I'm sure she hopes to treat her past wounds through action. I support her... I trust that she can find happiness. I hope that she fights this with strength and that she loves herself enough to overcome it.

3. [+140, -1] Mina-ya... please overcome this... and come back ♡

4. [+130, -1] Reveal who this person is, someone who has the audacity to work as a celebrity after assaulting someone. Don't let him get away with fooling his fans.

5. [+55, -3] Find strength and keep living with bravery. I will pray that you only have happiness and flower paths in your way. I support you~!

6. [+27, -0] She should be allowed to reveal his name

7. [+16, -0] We as a society need to allow victims to be brave enough to reveal their pain to us so that we can accept them warmly without bias

8. [+14, -0] Kwon Mina-ssi... you need to reveal his name so that more victims aren't put in harm's way... actually, there might already be so many more victims aside from just you, Mina-ssi. You were brave enough to take the first step. This is nothing to be embarrassed of. You must be brave enough to reveal him now.
