Recently, singer and actress Nana appeared on YouTube channel TEO's online entertainment program.
During the conversation, Nana shared frankly about the challenges of her time as a member of the Orange Caramel sub group of Kpop girl group After School.
Nana describes himself as someone who values honesty and openness: "I am a very straightforward person. Because I want to continue to live honestly, I feel responsible for acting properly."
According to Nana, influential people should know how to distinguish between right and wrong and admit their mistakes when necessary. The actress emphasized that everyone should live honestly.
However, Nana also admitted that management companies were often worried about her straightforwardness. "The company told me to be more restrained and cautious," she said with a shy smile.
host Jang Do Yeon asked Nana if there was a point in her career where she had no choice but to follow the company's decision. Nana replied, "That's why I joined Orange Caramel."
Orange Caramel was formed in 2010, a small group in the girl group After School (active from 2009-2019), consisting of 3 members Raina, Nana and Lizzy.
Nana revealed that she initially did not want to form Orange Caramel but still had to accept the company's request.
"Orange Caramel is not my style. After School is more suitable for me. I didn't even like the name Orange Caramel, so I complained a lot at the time," Nana said.
Although she was not initially very excited to accept forming the Orange Caramel group, she eventually found joy in this experience.
"Seeing people happy to emulate us makes me excited. When I shouted Ha! in the MV Catallena, it became a trend, a moment I was truly happy, Nana confessed.

Nana is known as the "most beautiful beauty in the world" voted by TC Candler for 2 consecutive years (2014, 2015).
Along with his singing career, Nana also entered the acting field. Since 2016, when After School began to freeze activities and the members left one by one, she focused more on her acting career.
After that, Nana received the main role in many projects such as Kill It, Justice, Memorials, Confession, Oh My Ladylord...
