Kwon Min-ah from AOA recently expressed her discomfort at the controversial breast cancer charity event of W Korea.

On the 19th, Kwon Min-ah continued to criticize the way the event was held, posting a lengthy post on her SNS account.

He said "My father died of pancreatic cancer, and my sister has been living with breast cancer for yearsHe discovered it in the 3rd stage and cut it out greatly, lost all of his hair through chemotherapy, and gained a lot of weight due to side effects. The cost of treatment was enormous", he confessed.




Then "Pancreatic cancer is a disease that is difficult to treat unless a miracle occurs. On the other hand, some people seem to think that breast cancer can be easily cured if it is detected quickly"I didn't go through it myself, but just watching from the side was so hard, so sad and sad..." he added.

In particular, Kwon Min-ah said, `If I really sincerely worried about and thought about breast cancer patients and understood their family's feelings, I don't think such a drinking party would have been held", he pointed out. Then "I think that good donations themselves have something to imitate regardless of their amount. However, when I saw the title of 「Rubbing Rock" in the colorful, cool, and fun-looking pictures, I thought a lot, and the moment I saw it, I felt uncomfortable and distressed."

He said "I dare not say anything, but cancer patients and their families are hurt by the slightest. I beg you to understand."
