Why don't you think the Jimin & Mina thing isn't jealousy fueled? Jimin seems to be super insecure and jealous of Mina for whatever reason. Whenever Mina would get attention in interviews it seemed like Jimin would get upset about that attention going to her like she was insecure and upset by anything going towards Mina and not her.I don't think you can compare Bol4 with a normal kpop girl group as they were in a group when they were still in high school and have been for 10 years which is way longer than their debut in 2016.
Also bringing up Jimin and Mina isn't really something I agree with as it isn't jealousy fueled and doesn't really fit her point.
As for her overall point I think it really depends on how close you are with your group members and your view of your work since if your focus is being successful then you're going to view others as in your way.
Grace was wording it in a way that implied Mina was jealous of Jimin which is why I disagreed but for Jimins motives it could be the cause although Jimin also could lack empathy meaning she'd be pretty ruthless and self serving regardless potentially so who knows.Why don't you think the Jimin & Mina thing isn't jealousy fueled?

She said Mina was jealous??? o.oGrace was wording it in a way that implied Mina was jealous of Jimin which is why I disagreed but for Jimins motives it could be the cause although Jimin also could lack empathy meaning she'd be pretty ruthless and self serving regardless potentially so who knows.
Yeah that's what she implied saying knowing she knew something about Jimin but she was getting all this attentionShe said Mina was jealous??? o.o
Well it's not same situation in that sense, but I'm sure the pressure for celebrities is still similar when someone in the group or band is more popular than someone else.I don't think you can compare Bol4 with a normal kpop girl group as they were in a group when they were still in high school and have been for 10 years which is way longer than their debut in 2016.

I think Grace overall makes fair points for why idols might not get along but her examples didn't really line up with her points apart from T-ara in a way and that makes her overall argument weaker.Well it's not same situation in that sense, but I'm sure the pressure for celebrities is still similar when someone in the group or band is more popular than someone else.
It could be also that these two just didn't match together personality wise which is something she mentioned as possible cause of bad blood between idols. Ofc jealousness or just unmatching personalities doesn't justify bullying.
Personally i think the team spirit does suffer with idols due to inner competition between members. The idols always try to show outside how they are working hard for the team, but we have seen cases and rumors how idols don't rly take it well when someone is more popular than others or that the other member doesn't take well they have to share their earnings to pay other people's debts. The competitiviness of the industry is in direct opposition to image of idol.
Tbf she wasn't in AOA so may have not known abt Jimin's treatment of Mina, BUT if Jimin treated Mina this way so blatantly she probably just wasn't a nice person overall. I don't think AOA fits into her personal narrative as to why bullying may occur in groups as Jimin was one of the most popular members in AOA and was the core of the group musically.oh Grace how I wish she would stop with these videos.
what's also stupid is how she is talking about the current AOA situation.... she litereally is friends with Jimin so it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Yes, its so strange how idols are pitted against each other as individuals for years with no distinction but then they're expected to form a team. I think a better form would be to simply choose the members that the company wants from the start and just train them together as a group. Maybe even get people that are already in quasi-groups or pairs. But this would mean choosing people who are already compete in singing and dancing, probably older teens and young adults which would go against the youth-obsession within the industry and companies wouldn't be dealing with ppl they've molded since childhood or early teenhood.Well it's not same situation in that sense, but I'm sure the pressure for celebrities is still similar when someone in the group or band is more popular than someone else.
