Even though some of the netizens aren’t fans of the girl group AOA, they were still surprised with Mina’s revelation, considering that Jimin, the group’s leader, was supposed to be supporting her members instead.

jimin is the leader in aoa and she out of all people should know that bullying is WRONG and should never happen. all mina wanted was a genuine apology but jimin responded by saying it was "fiction" I can't believe this, I'm so heartbroken rn

Some netizens, on the other hand, are advising the others to stop focusing on hating AOA’s Jimin, and to focus on showing support for Mina instead.
do not use the situation revolving around aoa mina & aoa jimin to make jokes or cause fanwars. the best you can do is leave supportive comments under mina’s posts and inform your friends the triggering topics the news contains.

Aoa jimin is trending with choa and mina. Instead of sending threats, cursing Jimin, why don't you send love, care to Mina. Cause if you are just going to bully Jimin online you are exactly doing what she did to Mina.

They are encouraging others to post kind and supportive messages to Mina’s Instagram account, instead of sending death threats to Jimin’s social media page.
A word of advice, instead of sending insults and death threats to AOA’s Jimin, send kind comments and love to Kwon Mina instead. Unrelenting hate directed towards anybody will not accomplish anything good. Unrelenting support towards those needing it can really make a difference. pic.twitter.com/ocFeake3Ky

Other fans of the group felt heartbroken with what happened, and they’re wishing for Jimin to be held responsible for her actions.

tw// bullying suicide
aoa jimin needs to pay for what she did she traumatized and bullied a member close to suicide she needs to be held responsible for her actions and pay for any help that mina needs what happened is just plain disgusting

In the end, though, Mina’s revelation is a proof that even though fans feel close to their idols, they may never really know the full details of what goes on behind closed doors.
aoa jimin actually turning out to be a bully just proves the fact that none of us fans know what goes on behind the curtains.

The AOA jimin case is clear proof that not all groups have that perfect relationship that is caught on camera

At the end of the day, K-Pop fans have a simple wish: please make K-Pop idols and celebrities feel safe.
mina has been hated and bullied by AoA jimin for 10 years and no one noticed or got to know abt this unless she says it out herself, like wouldnt their fellow groups members noticed it??? staffs or someone around her didnt notice it?? idol industry is fked up,MAKE IDOLS FEEL SAFE
