JIMIN member of the group AOA retires and stops working in the entertainment industry.
FNC Entertainment said on July 4th, “We apologize for worrying a lot of people about what’s going on with JIMIN.“
“JIMIN has decided to leave AOA after this time and stop all entertainment activities,” the agency said.
“We also feel responsible for all of these situations and we will do everything in our power to manage our artists,” she added.
Official publication of FNC Entertainment:
FNC엔터테인먼트입니다.
먼저 현재 소속 가수 지민과 관련해 벌어지고 있는 일들로 인해 많은 분들께 심려를 끼쳐 죄송하다는 말씀을 드립니다.
지민은 이 시간 이후로 AOA를 탈퇴하고 일체의 모든 연예 활동을 중단하기로 결정했습니다.
당사 역시 이 모든 상황에 책임을 통감하고 아티스트 관리에 만전을 기하겠습니다. 다시 한번 좋지 않은 일로 걱정을 끼쳐드린 점 사과드립니다.
This announcement follows initially on the declaration of KWON MINA, former member of the group AOA, who announced that for 10 years she had been the victim of intimidation by JIMIN. The whole group having visited KWON MINA, JIMIN had apologized which was accepted by the actress, but which does not erase 10 years of suffering.
Subsequently internet users continued to speculate wondering if PARK CHOA could also have left the group because of JIMIN.
It is therefore a difficult situation for the group AOA and for JIMIN, because in South Korea, more than elsewhere, image and reputation are extremely important things. Group AOA finds itself with 4 members SEOLHYUN, YUNA, HYEJEONG and CHANMI les Elvis (fans of the group) are now wondering about the future of the group.
