Nana apologizes for 'Scandal' lip controversy: "My fault," she directly mentions

Singer and actress Nana apologized for the lip controversy that arose after the release of the Netflix series ″Scandal.″ On the 22nd, Nana posted on the paid fan communication platform Bubble, saying, ″If my lips caused discomfort to viewers, it is my fault,″ and added, ″I think my personal choice was not suitable as an actress.″ She continued, ″Fans who love me must be hurt to see harsh criticism,″ and said, ″I am even more sorry because of that. I will try to hear good words together in the future.″ ″Scandal″ is an 8-episode Netflix series set in the Joseon Dynasty, based on the French novel ″Les Liaisons Dangereuses,″ and was also made into the 2003 film ″Scandal - A Shocking Tale of Joseon Men and Women.″ In this work, Nana played the role of the young widow Hee-yeon. In the original film, actress Jeon Do-yeon played the same role. Son Ye-jin played Lady Jo, and Ji Chang-wook played Jo Won. After the series was released on the 18th, some viewers expressed opinions that Nana’s full lips did not fit the historical drama atmosphere and disrupted immersion.

At the production presentation, Nana said about the character Hee-yeon, ″Hee-yeon resembles my childhood personality,″ and added, ″I tried to act while reflecting on those parts.″ She also said she tried to understand and express the character’s emotions based on her own experiences. Nana debuted in 2009 as a member of the group After School and has since continued her acting career by appearing in various dramas such as ″Good Wife,″ ″Justice,″ ″Mask Girl,″ ″Climax,″ ″Kill It,″ ″The Spies Who Loved Me,″ and ″Glitch.″ ″Scandal″ is her first historical drama challenge, and her next project is scheduled to be the Netflix original series ″Made Lesa.″
