Let's Support Kwon Mina (former AOA member)

TW // Self-Harm, Bullying, Abuse
AOA's former member Kwon Mina revealed in her Instagram that Shin Jimin ( their leader) bullied and emotionally manipulated her for a decade to the point that she tried to harm herself. (Please remember their names)
As my way to condemn Jimin's long-term abusive behavior (who eventually left the group and industry for good), I will stop using AOA's pics in SNS sets and official promotional materials from now on. Also, I will not use AOA's songs as IRL inspiration for Star Beam's future releases. The "Beaming Memories" commemorative merch like live album, DVD, and photobook set which will be released on July 26 (which is the 1st anniversary of their tour) will be the very last time I will use AOA as FC.
Instead of bullying Jimin for her wrongdoings by shaming her work and looks, please shower Mina with support and encouragement in her Instagram Account by DM-ing her and comment on her posts so she knows that she is not alone. Also don't bring other idols who has 0 involvement in this ordeal (eg: Hwayoung & Taeyong like please... leave him alone for nth time)
Let's spread awareness to this sensitive topic and most importantly, DON'T BE A BULLY OR AN ENABLER OF BULLYING!
