Former AOA member Kwon Mina has officially embarked on a new chapter in her life.
On March 8, Kwon Mina shared several photos on her personal Instagram with the caption, "It's really opening now. Please show a lot of interest and look for Manager Kwon Mina."
The photos revealed the interior of a soon-to-open dermatology clinic in Seoul. As previously reported, Kwon Mina is preparing to begin her new role as a consultation manager at the clinic, stepping away from her previous career in broadcasting.
Netizens responded with an outpouring of support, leaving comments such as "I hope things go well for you," "I wish you happiness," "I'll definitely visit when the clinic opens," "Getting a consultation from you would be amazing," and "Kwon Mina, fighting!"
Kwon Mina debuted in 2012 as a member of the girl group AOA, where she served as the sub-vocalist and lead dancer, actively contributing to the group’s success. AOA gained widespread popularity with hit songs.
After leaving AOA in 2019, Kwon Mina pursued an acting career. However, in 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been verbally and physically abused by then-leader Jimin and accused the other members of ignoring the situation. This revelation sparked significant controversy within the group.
Following the incident, Kwon Mina stepped away from the entertainment industry and took an extended break. Since then, she has been keeping fans updated about her life through her personal social media.
