Everything you need to know about “AOA” members——Shen Zhimin
Who is Shin Jimin?
Shin Ji Min was born in Seongnam, South Korea on January 8, 1991. He is a singer and rapper, most famously a member of the Korean pop girl group AOA. She is the main rapper of the group, and she has also appeared in other projects, such as the TV show “Unpretty Rapstar”.
Shen Zhimin’s net worth
As of the beginning of 2020, Shen Zhimin’s net worth is estimated to exceed 500,000 US dollars, which is obtained through a successful career in the music industry. In addition to cooperating with AOA, she also collaborated with other artists, and all these efforts helped her accumulate wealth.
Early life and career start
Jimin grew up in Seongnam, and her parents discovered that she had a strong talent for music when she was a child. After developing her talent, she began to learn to play a variety of musical instruments, including piano, harmonica and guitar. In middle school, she moved to China to further develop her music skills, and stayed until about the first grade of high school, where she studied in a Chinese language school for two years.
After returning to China, her career in the Korean entertainment industry aroused her interest, and she began to audition for the future idol career. She was very successful and signed a contract with FNC Entertainment, which is the birthplace of many popular artists, including SF9, Cherry Bullet, FT Island and CNBLUE. After training in the company for a few years, she was selected as a member of a new girl group called AOA and joined 7 other members, including Seolhyun, Hye Jung, Yuna, Cai, Chanmi, and Mina.

In 2012, the organization’s trailer began to circulate on the Internet and local media.
Rise to fame thanks to AOA
AOA or Ace of Angels is introduced with a unique concept. Several of their members can play musical instruments as a band, and they can also be used as a dance group. They debuted with the single “Elvis” and then “Wanna Be”, and they got some attention in the first year because they performed while playing various pop culture roles.
AOA’s band is called AOA Black, and Youkyoung is the only member of the band to stay in the band, not a member of the dance group. The band also released their own music and debuted as “MOYA”.
In 2014, AOA made a breakthrough with the single “Miniskirt” and reached No. 8 on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100, and the next album “Short Hair” reached No. 4 on the Gaon Weekly Album Chart. Their popularity rose steadily, and they began to release Japanese singles to cater to the audience there.
Their next single “Like a Cat” is their most successful single to date, topping the Gaon social charts for six consecutive weeks. In 2015, the group released an extended drama (EP) called “Heart Attack”.
Recent cooperation with AOA
Jimin and AOA then went to the United States to perform at KCON 2015 in Los Angeles. The following year, a new subunit called AOA Cream was created, but Jimin did not participate in it. After failing to recognize the activist An Jung-geun, she issued an apology after appearing on the show “OnStyle Live”.
Youjing left the portfolio soon after the contract expired. AOA continues to release more music, including “Angel’s Knock” and the Japanese album “Runway”. In mid-2017, Choathen announced that she would leave the group because she was struggling with several health issues.
In 2018, AOA released the fifth EP “Bingle Bangle”, and one of the title singles of the same name ranked fourth on the Gaon digital chart.

In the second year, there was a lot of news surrounding them, because most of the members’ contracts were about to expire. Mina did not renew her contract, but prefers to fly solo. AOA now continues to exist as a five-person group. One of their latest projects is the mini-album “New Moon”, the lead single “Come and See Me”.
personal life
Jimin is single, and like many K-pop idols, due to the strict management practices of the agency, he does not often participate in love.
This is because interpersonal relationships are an unpredictable factor in their careers, as seen in some public relations.
In 2019, many Zhimin fans expressed concern about her seemingly declining health, because she started posting photos showing that she looked like she was malnourished. FNC confirmed that she is not sick, in fact, she often goes to the gym to exercise. Later, her figure returned to normal, and the worries around her disappeared.
