AOA's Jimin shares beer photos and hospital update after past sleep struggles

Jimin, formerly of the group AOA, has drawn attention by revealing her daily life, from enjoying beer to her recent status visiting a hospital. Having previously confessed, "I could only fall asleep if I drank alcohol," fans focused on her as she shared photos taken at a hospital and medical records. Her appearance, matching a hospital gown with brown suede boots, and her somewhat gaunt face also caught people's eyes.

On the 14th, Jimin posted several photos and various emojis on her Instagram. The photos captured everything from her daily life picking out necessary items at a large household goods store to traces of her enjoying various types of beer. As the photos of beer were released, her past confessions regarding sleep issues and alcohol consumption also drew renewed interest.

Afterward, Jimin revealed her appearance at a hospital. Wearing a hospital gown, she showcased a unique style by pairing it with brown suede boots. Her face in the photos appeared somewhat thinner than before, and the medical records she shared included details of discomfort in her neck, waist, and pelvis. It was also confirmed in the records that she suffered an injury where the flesh of her left thigh was indented after falling this past April.

However, it is difficult to conclude her current health status or the exact reason for her hospital visit based solely on the released photos and medical records. Jimin has not separately disclosed a specific diagnosis or treatment progress. Nevertheless, with the records mentioning discomfort in several parts of her body being released, it is a situation where eyes are continuously watching in concern for her health.

In particular, Jimin previously confessed to having a difficult time with sleep issues while preparing for her new album release this past June. She revealed, "Even though I am someone who cannot even drink alcohol, I had to drink every day for a whole month to be able to fall asleep. It wasn't solved by medicine." Her statement that she, who usually stated she cannot drink well, had to drink every day for a month to sleep drew attention at that time as well.

As the beer photos and the recent hospital visit revealed this time coincide with her past confessions, curiosity about Jimin's recent life is growing. However, it has not been confirmed whether there is a direct connection between the alcohol consumption and her current physical discomfort. Rather than connecting the cause of health problems with the released information alone, it is necessary to distinguish between the fact that Jimin revealed she suffered from sleep issues in the past and her recent status of visiting the hospital.

Jimin debuted in 2012 as the leader and rapper of AOA. However, she stood at the center of controversy in 2020 when former member Kwon Mina claimed she was bullied during their past team activities, and Jimin left the team and suspended her activities. At the time, Kwon Mina claimed she had been bullied by Jimin for about 10 years.

After a long hiatus, Jimin resumed solo activities and released albums such as 'BOXES', 'Twinkle Little Star', 'WALKING TALKING', and '0108'. This recent update, revealed while she continues her musical activities, has once again sparked interest in her health and daily life. As she had directly confessed to sleep problems in the past, fans' eyes are also directed toward what kind of activities she will continue with in the future.
