ADÉLA mentions her friendships with Lara Raj & Megan Skiendiel from KATSEYE, & Emily from SAINT SATINE in new interview with Teen VOGUE:
“The girls are so busy,” she says. “I am so busy. So it’s very special when we get together. I really am rooting for them, because they're my real ones…. We understand each other very well because we went through something very strange together.”

@PopEmpirex There are serious changes to be made in kpop fandom culture internationally and this is proof of it. The second someone moves a bit wrong in this culture, they get harassed. These fans encouraged her to do it on live and stayed to watch. Change has to be made. Rest in peace Mina.
Mina's Family have shared a Message on her Instagram Account:
“This is Mina’s family. We sincerely apologize for causing a public commotion during this time.
On August 9th, we were able to bring our daughter back home. This day was her 26th birthday. We are deeply filled with grief that we could not fulfill our promise to celebrate her birthday together.
Our daughter was deeply hurt by critical posts on social media, felt as though her right to live was denied, and ended her life. Can you imagine a beloved family member suddenly disappearing from your life? I hope that more people will reflect on how the words they put out—along with everything visible, such as photos and videos—are received by others.
Lastly, we express our deepest gratitude to the friends who were close to our daughter, everyone who supported and cheered her on, and the friends who helped our family through this difficult time.
To my brothers and sisters in Korea: thank you for loving me, even though it was for a short time. It was fun, friends! Let’s meet again.”
