On December 14, Kwon Mina shared a direct message (DM) she received on Instagram from a user who wrote, “Oh, you’re still alive? Didn’t you ruin your former group’s comeback? Someone like you will never find happiness.”
Rather than reacting with anger, Mina posted a screenshot of the DM with a powerful statement. “Thoughts and speech are free,” she began. “Only those who were there know the truth, so most people can interpret things however they want. That’s understandable. I’ve had miserable, unjust, and painful times. There were days I wanted to die. I wasn’t in my right mind back then. But these days, I’m truly happy.”
She continued, “I’ve found new reasons to live and goals to pursue. Life has become fun again. I’m sorry, but I can’t live my life the way you want. I just replied on my way home on the subway because I had nothing better to do. Hope you have a great day. Thank you for taking the time to write such a long message—it means you cared. I don’t like the word ‘pathetic,’ but I can’t help feeling bad for people who write such hateful things. So I cheer for you. Fighting!”
Mina’s recent post serves as a bold statement of resilience and personal growth, drawing attention once again to the pressures faced by idols and the impact of online hate.
