Former AOA Member Mina Slashes Her Wrist and is Hospitalized, FNC Entertainment Apologizes Officially and Provides Clarification

Kapanlagi.com - Netizens and fans were worried when Mina uploaded a photo of her wrist covered in blood from self-harm. In response to the incident, the agency immediately contacted the authorities and requested emergency personnel to examine the actress under their care as soon as possible. Woori Actors later confirmed that Mina's life was not in danger and she is currently receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, FNC Entertainment has finally issued an official statement released on Sunday (9/8/2020). In this letter, they apologize to Mina for what has happened and also clarify the issues from their perspective.

1. Apology

The official letter released by FNC Entertainment focuses on their apology to all parties, especially to Mina who had a difficult time under their management. The agency also apologizes for the delay in releasing this official statement.

"We would like to apologize for the embarrassing incident involving AOA that has caused concern and discomfort to everyone recently. We apologize for causing such worries and regrettable actions.

Specifically, we sincerely apologize to Kwon Mina who has been going through a difficult time, and we hope for her speedy recovery.

We apologize for the delay in our statement. We also sincerely apologize for not being able to handle the relationship between members carefully," FNC Entertainment wrote as quoted by Koreaboo.

2. Agency Clarification

In addition to apologizing, FNC Entertainment also explained the situation with Mina from their perspective. As previously known, Mina also discussed issues of injustice, including matters of honor while being an idol at FNC Entertainment.

"Several times we hesitated in choosing how to clearly convey our agency's position on this issue. AOA members also felt frustrated because of the criticism and misunderstandings surrounding them. We are also very aware of the situation, where there is a lot of criticism directed towards us and AOA members.

However, even though we have repeatedly worried about how to express our position, we feel that the most important thing is to focus on Kwon Mina's recovery.

We feel that explaining and denying some of the things that have been revealed and accusing who is right and wrong will only create more problems and not solve the problem. We have also informed AOA members that they should not make any personal statements, even if they want to. We made this decision because we believe that if each member expresses their statements to the public, it will cause conflict, which is not the right way to solve the problem.

Recently, Kwon Mina asked our agency staff about the future promotion plans of Shin Jimin, but we did not respond because Shin Jimin personally informed the agency that she does not plan to be active in the entertainment industry and wants to live as a non-celebrity. At that time, we did not want it to be disclosed or mentioned if it was not necessary.

Regarding personal issues in Kwon Mina's SNS post, such as payment, we have strictly followed industry protocols, and we will take legal responsibility if there are any problems.

Once again, we sincerely hope for Kwon Mina's health to recover as soon as possible, and we will strive to resolve this matter smoothly. We ask the public to send support to Kwon Mina, so that she can return to the public in good health," concluded FNC Entertainment.
