Jimin Sparks Concern with Late-Night Running Photos
On September 4, former AOA leader Jimin took her fans by surprise when she shared a series of photos from her late-night running session on her social media account. This unexpected post generated a wave of concern among her followers.
Capturing the Moment
The 32-year-old singer showcased her athleticism in a sleeveless crop top and short leggings while jogging through an unspecified urban landscape. One of the images captures her pausing to regain her breath, her face flushed and hair swept back in a ponytail. Another photo highlights her in motion, illuminated by streetlights that accentuate her toned physique as she pushes herself forward.
Fitness Journey
This post marks Jimin’s first foray into sharing fitness-related content since attending the wedding of her fellow AOA member, Dohwa, last month. While numerous fans lauded her commitment to health and fitness, a notable number of comments centered on her noticeably thin appearance.
Rise to Fame
Jimin gained fame in 2012 as the leader of AOA, contributing to several hit singles like “Miniskirt, ””Heart Attack, ”and “Good Luck.”Her popularity surged further in 2015 when she showcased her rap talents on the competitive reality show “Unpretty Rapstar.”
Controversies and Comebacks
In July 2020, Jimin made the decision to step away from AOA amidst allegations of bullying from former member Kwon Mina. Following a hiatus from the public eye, she made her comeback in 2022 on JTBC’s survival show “The Second World, ”subsequently releasing several solo tracks like “Twinkle Little Star”and “WALKING TALKING.”
Addressing Health and Safety Concerns
Beyond her music career, Jimin remains actively engaged with her fans on social media. While her latest fitness-focused posts certainly resonate during a period when discussions surrounding celebrity health and body image are prevalent in K-pop, they also bring to light concerns over safety. With the rise in popularity of nighttime workouts among idols seeking solitude, fans worried about both Jimin’s slender appearance and the risks associated with jogging alone in poorly lit areas.
Agency Response and Future Prospects
As of now, Jimin’s agency, FNC Entertainment, has not released an official response to the fan concerns sparked by her photos. In the past, when similar worries arose—such as during a time when she unveiled drastic weight loss in 2019—her agency reassured fans about her health and advised them against needless anxiety. Given her active return to the music scene and continuous interaction with fans, many are eager to monitor her physical and mental well-being closely.
