Former AOA member Kwon Mina announced on March 28, 2026, via her SNS that she has secured a position as a clinic consultant at a dermatology center in Mok-dong. Despite visible scarring from a previous medical incident, she expressed a strong motivation to return to work to cover her long-term treatment costs. She is scheduled to officially start her new role on April 4, 2026 KST.
This career shift follows a severe medical accident in January 2026, during which Kwon Mina suffered deep second-degree burns during a 'Shrink' (HIFU) lifting procedure while under sedation. She previously disclosed that the injury caused significant skin damage and blisters, leading her to initiate a medical lawsuit against the clinic involved. To prepare for this professional path, she reportedly obtained relevant certifications last year.
Kwon Mina debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019 to transition into acting. While she had signed an exclusive contract with a new agency in November 2025, she recently became an independent artist after the contract was terminated by mutual agreement. She shared her enthusiasm for the new position and invited her followers to visit the clinic starting in April.
