Korean singer, Kwon Mina, former a member of the girl group AOA has regained consciousness and addressed malicious commenters on social media after her suicide attempt made rounds on the internet.

The 27-year-old, shared that she has read the statement of her ex-boyfriend, a man identified as Yoo,

Mina posted a lengthy message on social media which was translated by various Korean media outlets.

"Many of you are probably sick and tired [of me] and are wondering why I am like this, right... Will you believe me if I say it's because it's so unfair... I am aware of my wrongdoings as well as my words and behavior that have crossed boundaries... because when I saw Yoo's statement, my lips were itching [to speak]," she wrote.

She said she will take legal action against malicious commenters who have spread false information in the wake of her suicide attempt.

"Due to the recent event that was more serious than ever before, there were many people who spread false information. My agency and I have already gathered a lot of information and screen-captured them, so don't even think of erasing them. Because they're your words that you were so confident about. I will just reveal what the truth is and what the false information is through legal action."

"There will be no mercy shown to those who have commented on what kind of person I am, commented on why I keep repeating the same things, asking who made me speak up again after staying quiet for a while, and those who talked as if they knew everything despite not knowing the inside story.

"I am confident. If my words are lies and false, then sue me, like I am. I will keep going until I get rid of even the slightest bit of my resentment."

On July 29, it was reported that Mina attempted suicide. The incident was confirmed after a friend was unable to contact her on the phone and went to her home to check on her. Mina was found alive but unconscious, and sent to the hospital and treated for excessive bleeding.

Mina's ex-boyfriend, Yoo, came out in the open following the incident, admitting his past relationship with Mina, and mentioning he cheated on an ex-girlfriend to be with Mina.

He later on posted an apology regarding their recent cheating controversy. He admitted that he lied to his non-showbiz ex-girlfriend as well as to Mina.

His posted was translated as follows,

"Hello, this is Yoo Jun Young.

"First, I would like to sincerely apologize to my ex-girlfriend. I am sorry to everyone who has gotten hurt because of me. I will pay back all the money that my ex-girlfriend has spent on me.

"I hid all the stories from both Kwon Mina noona and my ex-girlfriend, and this whole thing began from my lies and slander. Everything that the ex-girlfriend has written is true and it is because I couldn't take care of the situation that we've come this far.

"If there were any misunderstandings, I hope that this clears it up.

"It's all my fault, and I hope that nobody gets hurt from this in the future. It was all my fault for trying to hide the sky with my bare hands. I am really sorry. I will rightfully receive all the hate that you give me. However, I hope that you can refrain from criticizing others with things and people unrelated to this particular issue. I shamelessly beg you. And I apologize once again."
