The conversation was cordial between April and May 2020 and they treated each other warmly. After two months, on July 3, <strong>Kwon Mina<\/strong> publicly accused Shin Jimin of psychologically abusing her and even taking an attempt on her life as a result.<\/p>\n<p>That morning, the <strong>AOA<\/strong> <strong>members<\/strong> went to the house of her former partner. Mina and Jimin had discrepancies in their memories. The former leader claimed not to remember hitting him beyond a shove, but she still wanted to apologize. Mina was on the defensive. &#8220;<em><strong>You hit me with your fists. It seems that your memory is not good.

Other AOA members acted as mediators between the two girls. &#8220;<em><strong>It is difficult to express your feelings when you are young. Jimin, saying you&#8217;re leaving doesn&#8217;t solve the problem. If you are upset with something, listen first.

By the end of the meeting they seemed to have settled the issue, and <strong>Choa<\/strong> also showed Mina that she used to be disobedient when she pointed out something in the group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em><strong>You are a noble person, but also when I said something to you, you would not listen to me.
