Kang Mina Joins HIAND Platform, Enhances Fan Interaction Ahead of 'Girigo' Release

Kang Mina has joined the exclusive fan platform HIAND on April 8, initiating direct communication with her fans. As I.O.I, the group she was part of, prepares for a 10th-anniversary reunion, Kang Mina has decided to focus on her acting career and will not participate in the reunion project.

Through her entry into HIAND, Kang Mina has opened a dedicated lounge and direct messaging (DM) feature, allowing her to interact more closely with fans. In the lounge, she shares various stories about her daily life and activities, while the DM feature enables direct engagement with her followers.

Kang Mina has left a strong impression with her immersive performances in various projects, including tvN's 'Hotel Del Luna', JTBC's 'Welcome to Samdalri', the film 'Debt Collectors', Netflix's 'The History of Confession', and the KBS 2TV and Disney+ series 'Twelve'. She is set to appear in the upcoming Netflix original series 'Girigo', premiering on April 24, where she plays Im Nari, a character popular among friends for her idol-like appearance but skeptical of a friend's claim about 'Girigo' being a cursed medium. Her diverse talents continue to captivate audiences, and her enhanced fan interaction is drawing attention.

To celebrate Kang Mina's joining, HIAND is offering a 12-month DM subscription promotion and a DM verification event. The 12-month DM subscription can be purchased on the HIAND website at a discounted rate compared to the regular monthly subscription. The promotion runs for a week starting April 8, and customers who purchase during this period will receive a limited edition physical photo card of Kang Mina.

The DM verification event is also underway. Any user with a DM subscription can participate, and those who verify will receive digital rewards. Detailed information about the event can be found in Kang Mina's HIAND lounge, launched on April 8.

HIAND continues to strengthen its platform by recruiting more actors following its 2024 app launch. Kang Mina's star lounge and DM feature opened at 11 AM on April 8.
