FNC Entertainment Confirms Contract With Former AOA Member Jimin Has Officially Ended

Former AOA member Jimin’s contract with FNC Entertainment has officially ended.

On January 13, the agency released the following statement:

Hello, this is FNC Entertainment.

We are informing you that the exclusive contract period with our artist Jimin ended on January 12, 2022.

We would like to express our gratitude to Jimin, who has been active as a singer in our company for the past nine years.

Although our relationship [with Jimin] has ended, please show warm encouragement and support for Jimin’s future endeavors.

Thank you.

In July 2020, Jimin left AOA and halted all activities after her former bandmate Kwon Mina claimed that she had been bullied by Jimin during her time in the group. In the time since, there has been a great deal of speculation and debate about the veracity of the allegations, with Dispatch most recently publishing several past conversations between the former AOA members in September 2021.

After posting an apology on Instagram regarding the situation on July 4, 2020, Jimin immediately ceased all activities in the entertainment industry and went silent on social media for over a year and a half. Jimin recently returned to social media to share a new song with her fans.
