(G)I-DLE's Minnie is setting the record straight about the rumors that she comes from a rich family!

In a new video titled "Minnie Reveals the Truth About Miyeon?" uploaded on January 28 to the YouTube channel CU 씨유튜브, Minnie opened up about the rumors that have been swirling around her.

She started by saying, “There’s something I want to clear up,” referring to the claims that she’s from a wealthy family in Thailand.

When Miyeon asked, “Aren’t you rich?” Minnie quickly responded, “No, I did live comfortably, but my parents didn’t completely support me.”

Minnie made it clear that she doesn’t rely on her parents’ money, saying, “I don’t use my parents' money.” She then added, “I always say I need a lot of money,” showing her frustration over the misunderstanding.

Miyeon understood Minnie’s point and agreed, saying, “Yes, even if you have money, there are things you still need.” Minnie jokingly replied, “How can I not need money? I need a lot!” which made everyone laugh.

In other news, Minnie just dropped her first solo album HER on January 21, and fans are loving it!

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
