Meenoi shows up for her scheduled university performance amidst controversies

AKP STAFF

Singer Meenoi (real name Park Min Young, age 26) attended a scheduled event despite being absent from an advertising shoot.

On February 7, MyDaily exclusively obtained photos of Meenoi performing on stage.

Meenoi attended a freshman orientation event at a university held on February 6 at Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, where she performed on stage and interacted with students. Meenoi was known to have engaged with the audience with a bright smile on stage, focusing on the performance.

An audience member, who witnessed Meenoi's performance on site, said in a phone call with MyDaily, "Meenoi mentioned 'You all know, right?' During the event and talked about the live broadcast incident."

The audience member continued, "After reading today's article (about the failed advertising shoot), I could guess her mood. Although she seemed a bit off in the early part of the performance, she finished the stage well. She seemed like a 'professional.'"


Previously, Meenoi was set to model for a cosmetics brand known as 'P,' with a photo shoot scheduled for January 30. However, she canceled the shoot just two hours before it was due to commence.

Regarding this incident, 'P's representative, Kim, explained in a call with MyDaily, "The decision to select Meenoi as a model was a strategic plan established in August 2023. The company incurred significant damages due to the upcoming year's schedule being organized around the anticipated advertising shoot."

However, Kim also said, "Meenoi is still a young friend, and after understanding why she did what she did, I wanted to grasp the situation. We conveyed that we won't charge any penalty fees for breaching the contract to her agency. I hope similar incidents won't happen again if only the relationship is clearly clarified."

AOMG later officially stated, "This happened because the company and artist had different understandings of the agency and signing an advertisement contract. The disagreement was not resolved, so she ended up not participating in the commercial shoot. In the process, the artist mentioned she committed a crime through her livestream because of the guilt she felt from not filming, and she thought it would take a certain period to handle it all. That's why she made remarks like, 'You'll know by March.'"

Meanwhile, Meenoi shed tears during a live broadcast in the early morning of February 5. At that time, she confessed, "Because, unlike the standards I set for my life, everyone is living within the bounds defined by the law. When I put that in front of me and look at myself, I should have possessed this level of humility and acted accordingly, but I couldn't.."

Still not sure I understand what happened, but I wish her the best, she had a moment of panic so I hope she's getting lots of support and reassurance

So it was a contractual mess-up which doesn't seem to have been her fault, I don't suppose any of her critics would work without a contract, why should she?
