A little less than 2 years ago, in July of 2020, Jimin parted ways with her K-pop girl group AOA and ended all activities after her former groupmate, Kwon Mina, revealed that she had been bullied by Jimin during her time as a member of AOA.

Since then, netizens have been making speculations and talking about rumors regarding the severity of the bullying allegations in the K-pop girl group. Notably, Dispatch even went on to release conversations of the AOA members in September of last year.

Jimin went on to post an apology on Instagram on the AOA bullying allegations on the 4th of July, 2020. After this, the K-pop idol went on to stop all activities in the K-pop entertainment industry, even fully going silent on social media.

Jimin's Instagram post was a video of her new song, captioning it:

"surprise gift for my dearest. out now. link in bio. #happyjiminday."

Fans swarmed the comments section with positive messages and encouragement.
