It's hard to imagine that even celebrities can fall prey to scams, but that's exactly what happened to former AOA member Kwon Mina. In a recent interview with Channel A News, the K-Pop star revealed that she had been scammed and blackmailed by a fraudulent part-time job.

According to Mina, she had started the job on February 6, 2023, after being promised high pay. The job required her to enter a chat room with men, where she would earn points that could be exchanged for cash. Mina received points equivalent to about $6,180 USD in cash, but when she tried to convert them, she was asked to pay additional fees. The scammers even made her go through six rounds of additional payments to "raise her grade" for the conversion process.

But the worst part came when the scammers found out that Mina was a former idol. They threatened her with photos of her legs that she had sent in the chat room. Mina was not the only victim of this scam, and the police are currently investigating the matter.

It's scary to think that there are people out there who would do something like this to others. It's a good thing that Mina spoke out about her experience to warn others and prevent more victims from falling into the same trap.

It's important to be cautious when it comes to job opportunities, especially those that promise high pay for little work. Always do your research and trust your instincts. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
