Former AOA's Mina is embroiled in controversy after posting a picture smoking in a hotel room.
On the 6th, Mina posted a photo with her new boyfriend where Mina is seen holding a lit cigarette in one hand and posing with a heart above her head behind her boyfriend.
A netizen saw the photo and left a comment writing, "Isn't the room non-smoking?" Mina replied back and said, "Yes. No". "I got a smoking room."
However, other netizens pointed out the hotel she was staying in operates all rooms as non-smoking. One netizen wrote, "I work at a five-star hotel so I know the name of this hotel. All the rooms there are non-smoking. Most 4-5 star hotel rooms in Korea do not allow smoking in the rooms."
Mina eventually deleted the post, however, she later re-posted a new photo excluding her boyfriend. But she was seen holding an un-lit cigarette this time.
Netizens who saw the new photo once again demanded an explanation for smoking and said, "Explain smoking in a non-smoking area!" "Why do you keep posting and re-posting again?" "What if the hotel catches fire because of people like you?" "I heard OOO hotel allows smoking but only in a booth on the first floor of the hotel." "It's a misdemeanor to smoke indoors so please take out those photos and re-upload it again.." etc.
In particular, one netizen wrote, "I sent a complaint to the hotel over the phone and sent your photo as evidence through email. The hotel apologized and thanked me for reporting it. They said they didn't know a celebrity was staying there."
Mina later deleted the controversial post and also deleted her Instagram account.
Meanwhile, smoking indoors in Korea is subject to fine of 100,000 won.
