Finally, after the pandemic made it impossible, Mina had tickets to Seoul. 2025 was her year. 24 years old and solo, she was ready to walk Korean soil. The discoveries would be endless, the expected and the happily unexpected.
Namjoon's POV From her Instagram, I could see she had a good time working with Taemin sunbaenim.

She made a comment. "You're not scary at all!"
He pointed towards her. "Oh, yeah? How about now, huh?" While making a silly face.

He did NOT think he sounded so bubbly and silly.
Of course, she had them approved by the man himself, first. Then, she added a story. Q&A @ 1pm EST, 2am KST that'd be nice! In English.. It was in a few hours. I wonder what the questions will be. It's not too late in the night to watch! . . . "Hi, everyone! I hope you're doing well wherever you are. I asked you for some questions you wanted answered, so I figured I'd do my pre-makeup skincare routine with you. How's that? You get me barefaced!" She was very cute. "What are you doing lately? Well.." She cleansed her face. "I'm in Toronto for Taemin's concerts. For those who know me from my home province and aren't K-pop enthusiasts, he's a Korean solo artist. He's also part of a band called SHINee. I'm part of his dancers for three shows. I'm a collaborator on a morning show and released my books." A toner. "I'm also on the Quebec version of King of masked singers as a dancer and managing my resin art business. What do you enjoy the most? It's all so different!" A hydrating serum. "I mean.. I'm a Kpop fan and a dancer so the stage with artists like Taemin are amazing. Tho, I have to say that filming videoclips is a dear thing to me. It's what got me my career in Quebec. Teamwork where people are open to suggestions and have rigor is ideal for me." A gel cream. "Are you an activist? If yes, in what? Good question! I do qualify myself as one, but I'm not as forefront as others or as people expect me to be. I support the LGBTQIA+ community through my existence as a bisexual woman, but mostly by my openness on the subject in public and my work. I'm in support of mental health awareness being neurodivergent and being one who received and still receives help for her mental health. I don't have a lot of time, but you can see some interviews and articles linked on my website." A pause as she untied her hair. "Any questions not written ahead? How is it when you go to Korea? Oh.. I love it there. It's always different and I get to see my friends and my boyfriend if that wasn't obvious!" She laughed. "To be honest, I have such a different relationship with the media there than here. I'm a more active player at home. In Seoul, it's more passive on my part. There are so many articles about everything and everyone that pokes their nose outside. I was worried about these at first, but I feel now that people can believe what they want as long as it is not harmful. Mean comments are one thing, but attacking people is something else." She read one last question. "Anything you'd like to say to RM? Odd one, but let's close on that. I'm wishing him and Bangtan the best during practice preparing on their tour and that I can't wait to see him." She blew a kiss and waved at the camera. "Thank you for joining me! I have to go, so see you soon and those who have tickets.. See you tonight! Bye~"
