On March 8, Kwon Mina took to Instagram to share an exciting update, posting several photos along with the caption, “The opening is really happening soon. Please show lots of interest and look for Director Kwon Mina.”
The newly shared photos offer a glimpse into the interior of a dermatology clinic in Seoul, which is set to open its doors soon. Instead of returning to the entertainment industry, Kwon Mina is now embracing a fresh start as a consultation director at the clinic, marking a significant new chapter in her life.
Netizens responded with an outpouring of support, leaving messages such as, “I hope everything goes well for you,” “Wishing you happiness,” “I’ll definitely visit once the clinic opens,” “Getting a consultation from you would be amazing,” and “Kwon Mina, fighting!”
Kwon Mina first rose to fame in 2012 as a member of AOA, where she played a key role as a sub-vocalist and lead dancer. The group captured the hearts of fans with a string of hit songs, including “Miniskirt,” “Like a Cat,” and “Heart Attack,” solidifying their place in the K-pop scene.
However, in 2020, she made shocking allegations against former leader Jimin, accusing her of verbal and physical abuse. She also claimed that other members of the group remained passive bystanders during these incidents. This revelation sent shockwaves through the industry and placed Kwon Mina at the center of public scrutiny. Following the controversy, she withdrew from the entertainment world and took an extended hiatus, occasionally keeping fans updated on her life through social media.
Now, with a new career path ahead of her, Kwon Mina appears ready to turn the page and start anew, leaving many fans eager to see where this next chapter takes her.
