On the 22nd, through a fan communication platform, Nana said, "If my lips made anyone uncomfortable, that was my mistake," and added, "Looking back, my personal choice was not right for me as an actress."

She continued, "My fans, who love me, must feel hurt when they read harsh criticism directed at me. That makes me feel even more sorry. I will work hard so that I can receive more positive words in the future," she said.

Previously, on September 18, Nana appeared as Heeyeon, a widow who remained faithful after losing her husband for many years, in the newly released Netflix drama "Scandal." After the series was released, some viewers expressed opinions such as, "Nana's lips make it difficult to focus on the drama," "It's awkward that her lips are overly emphasized in a historical drama," and "This is a miscasting." However, others pointed out that it is inappropriate to judge an actor based excessively on a specific physical feature.

Meanwhile, Netflix's "Scandal" is a historical drama adapted to the Joseon Dynasty, inspired by the French novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" and the 2003 film "Untold Scandal." Son Ye-jin plays Mrs. Jo, and Ji Chang-wook plays Jo Won. This marks Nana's first attempt at a traditional historical drama since her debut.
