Kwon Mina has announced plans for legal action, claiming her sister embezzled millions of won.
The former AOA member took to social media on September 4 to allege that her sister took money from her, their mother, and a family friend.
Kwon stated that she was aware of her sister taking money for some time. She expressed that if her sister had acknowledged the financial difficulties and apologized, she would have been willing to accept it.
However, she claimed that about two years ago, she learned the severity of the situation after hearing specific details from her mother. Kwon revealed that money from her mother's assets, her own accounts, and funds she had given to her mother had disappeared.
Claims regarding a vehicle also emerged. Kwon alleged that her sister had her sign for a vehicle worth over 100 million won. She mentioned documents worth approximately 150 million won that could be recognized as a loan agreement. Kwon asserted that the total amount taken from her, her mother, and the family friend exceeds 700 to 800 million won.
This is not the first time Kwon Mina's financial disputes with her sister have come to light. In October 2021, Kwon revealed that she was experiencing conflicts over money with her sister. At that time, she claimed her sister had offered to handle taxes on her behalf, but the remaining funds after paying taxes did not return to her. Kwon expressed uncertainty about whether the money was used for business expenses but stated that a significant amount was taken without her permission.
The vehicle issue was also mentioned back then. Kwon explained that while trying to provide a vehicle for their mother, her sister had looked for one, and the contract and related procedures were carried out in Kwon's name. She questioned why her sister used her name when she was not financially capable.
At that time, Kwon also claimed her sister was attempting to raise tax evasion issues against her. Kwon refuted this by publicly addressing the tax and financial management processes.
Kwon Mina stated that she has not yet initiated any legal procedures with the police or courts. While she expressed a desire for her sister to acknowledge her wrongdoing and apologize to their mother, she indicated that if this does not happen, she would pursue legal action for fraud, forgery, embezzlement, and threats.
Kwon Mina debuted in the music industry as a member of AOA in 2012 and transitioned to acting after leaving the group in 2019. She later revealed that she had been bullied by fellow member Jimin for over ten years, which caused a significant stir. This incident also led to Jimin's departure from the group.
