Kwon Mina’s New Career Path

In a surprising career pivot, former AOA member Kwon Mina recently announced her transition to a cosmetic clinic consultant on January 15. Taking to her social media accounts, she excitedly shared, "I’ve had a new dream and goal that I’ve wanted to achieve for a long time. Recently, I obtained two certifications. Today, I’ve finally been able to do what I’ve always wanted by becoming a consultant at a dermatology clinic."

Support From Fans

Fans and followers have flooded her posts with supportive messages, encouraging her on this promising new venture. Comments such as “Congratulations,” “We’ll always support you,” and “Fighting!” reflect the loyalty of her fan base, who have stood by her through thick and thin.

Challenges and Controversies

Kwon Mina's career transformation comes in the wake of numerous challenges faced during her time in the public eye. In 2020, she made headlines after alleging a decade-long bullying incident perpetrated by AOA’s former leader Jimin. The fallout from these allegations led to Jimin’s departure from the group and a subsequent exit from the entertainment industry, further highlighting the often volatile world of K-pop.

While many sympathized with Kwon Mina during this turbulent time, her journey has been fraught with its own controversies. Reports of indoor smoking, cheating scandals, and alleged mistreatment of clinic staff and nurses have marred her image, leading to a complicated relationship with media and fans alike. Additionally, rumors about her sending unkind messages to Jimin have clouded her narrative, drawing public scrutiny toward her conduct.

Moving Forward

Despite previously promising to take time for personal reflection, Kwon Mina has seemingly chosen to move forward by focusing on her new career. Meanwhile, Jimin has resurfaced in the entertainment world through the JTBC program 'The Second World' and has also launched a YouTube channel, leaving many to speculate if Kwon Mina would address her return. However, Mina has stated her resolve to refrain from mentioning Jimin in the future, indicating a desire to carve out her own path without the shadow of her past experiences.

Looking Ahead

As Kwon Mina embraces this new chapter, the beauty industry is watching closely. With her determination to provide personalized consultations and exceptional service, fans are hopeful that Kwon Mina will not only flourish in her new role but also continue to inspire many who may be facing their own struggles.
