This has become the biggest mess I've ever seen in a girl group. Fans and I'm sure all of AOA are going through all kinds of emotions right now.Well it depends on why you stan them.
Seolhyun is my No. 4. and I will never not Stan her.
Despite attempts by many to condemn her in this I will Stan behind her until the end.
Mina has not called out Seolhyun for mistreatment, despite so many calling for her as some kind of evil bystander.
There's a lot to consider here.
We don't know the details of their relationships and thus far are going off a single persona recollection of their dynamic.
We don't know to what extent the other members were involved or not. To what extent they knew. To what extent they may have tried to resolve it if they did.
Also something to consider. This is Korea. Where hierarchy of age and seniority is much more pronounced and respected than elsewhere.
If others had known and perhaps tried to speak up. To what extent would their protests even be considered? The company it seems was behind Jimin and determined it to be a personal matter between them.
Can younger members come out against the leader? If she just brushes them away what's to be done?
It's hard to say.
And again we don't really know what happens behind the scenes.
I feel for Mina and what she experienced. And hope she can get some relief in her struggle. And the object of her torment seems to have been called out and dealt with. That being Jimin.
But I'm not about to throw the weight of that on every other menber.
I don't know what was or wasn't done.
And I stand by my stanning of Seolhyun and the good person I have known her to be.
Until I have reason to change that opinion. I will stand firm in my support of her.
Biggest? I think no one will ever champion T-ara and MBK on that.This has become the biggest mess I've ever seen in a girl group. Fans and I'm sure all of AOA are going through all kinds of emotions right now.
I am shocked at the finger being pointed at Seolhyun. She is wrongly being labeled the Tiffany in the Taeyeon/Jessica rivalry.
Seolhyun probably didn't have as much power at the company as people believe. The person who had to have known what was going on and should have spoke up was their Manager. Every kpop group has one. They should have put a stop to it.
I feel like in this situation you just have to take the art away from the artist.I am so devastated about this whole situation.
I love AOA.

I love their music and I love Seolhyun. But is it time to bump them?
Also another aspect I think people gloss over.This has become the biggest mess I've ever seen in a girl group. Fans and I'm sure all of AOA are going through all kinds of emotions right now.

omg you too is here on kps, im chewieecookieee on allkpop lmao. and i agree with what you said btwAlso another aspect I think people gloss over.
Hindsight is always 20/20.
Things that seem clear and important or easy to spot after the fact may not be so in the thick of it.
From personal experience.
I've had friends who one might consider "bullies"
.
They razzed guys and gave them shit or what not during school and stuff.
And I'd tell them to lay off if it got too bad.
But I still kept them as friends. They were more then mere bully in my eyes.
But I don't know how the person who was given shit by them might have taken it.
What I saw as light or run of the mill razzing might have been to them much more destructive or damaging.
But I didn't see it that way at the time and have no way of knowing if they did.
By the logic Seolhyun is being condemned under I too might be considered an enabler.
My friends were bullies. I didn't disown them. Merely tried to temper them and get on them if they got too mean.
Life's not always so clear cut as people make it out to be later when they judge from the safety and clarity of distance and lack of first person involvement.
Yep I'm here from time to time.omg you too is here on kps, im chewieecookieee on allkpop lmao. and i agree with what you said btw

Yup this is way more personal for fans of the group. It took me a year from the beginning of the Burning Sun Scandal to a month or so after BigBang resigned their contract to come to a resolution about continuing to support them artist.I feel lucky in that im not a fan, but someone who just likes some of their songs. I thinks its easier for me to just seperate the songs from artist in this case and not feeling weird
At the moment Jimin is just one member. Id wait and see if i were you.
