Ex-AOA member Mina has taken part in the latest BNT International photoshoot!

Mina talked to supporters and provided an update through a live feed on August 5 while she was on set to take pictures.

On August 14, BNT International posted the stunning images of the shooting and the interview. She said, "While taking a hiatus, I worked incredibly hard to get help, and I even did take part in this photo session. I'm still doing my cosmetics hobby. I've got delicate skin, and I like to make rejuvenating skincare products. I got into the habit of studying beauty components, and I spent time doing stuff like this. It is organic cosmetics. I'm working so hard while imagining becoming CEO of a generic makeup company in the far future."

The interviewer commended Mina's natural beauty, responding as how she loved being complimented for her looks as she doesn't get it often since she debuted in the industry. She conveyed how she wants to be acknowledged by the things she has successfully achieved, especially her acting.

Mina also revealed that her role model was the singer and actress Lee Jung Hyun and that she had dreamed of becoming a star after seeing Lee Jung Hyun's "Wa."

That being said, Mina said that she had a tough time preparing to become a singer until she had to figure out how to play electric guitar. As an actress, Mina expressed that KBS 2TV's "Wonderful Days" was the project she seemed particularly connected to since she appreciated her appearance as a bright but sad person seeking one-sided love.

Also, the artist spoke about her process of achieving fulfillment and happiness. She clarified that she's always thought of doing something instead of putting her mind into action.

The idol also spoke about watching films, listening to music, organizing, and relaxing while alone in her recreational time. She said it was calming to see her pet dog at her mother's house.

She concluded her interview by sharing her goals for the year, mentioning she'd like to be more matured and healthier. She will make a return in the scene and show everybody she's changed and achieved emotional growth and development.

Mina looks forward to more projects and acting workshops. She also thanked her fans and people who showed her support to help her mental recuperation.
