Nana speaks up about her relationship with T.O.P: "For the past 17 years, I have approached my work with sincerity at every moment, under every circumstance, and have always given it my very best. I am human too, so there have been times when I have been emotionally shaken or unstable. However, even during those times, there has never been a moment when I considered the work entrusted to me meaningless, took my responsibilities lightly or failed to fulfill them. Throughout these 17 years, I have gained fans who have stood by my side, supporting and encouraging me without asking for anything in return, wishing only for my happiness. Whether I was actively working and promoting or going through periods of inactivity without any news, you quietly waited for me and continued to support me with the same steady and unwavering hearts. I wanted to protect those precious feelings, and I hoped that I could bring you even greater happiness. That remains true even now. The reason I am writing this today is because I want to address those who call themselves fans but deliberately write malicious comments, disregarding my choices and freedom because I publicly acknowledged my romantic relationship. I hope you will take a step back and honestly reflect on what it is that you want and expect from celebrities, and from me, Nana, as a person. I have tried to understand everything you have said and done, but I simply cannot understand it. What terrible mistake have I made? What harm have you suffered because of me? Have I caused any controversy through morally inappropriate behavior? Let me make this absolutely clear. My romantic relationship, including my decision to publicly acknowledge it, is a matter of my personal privacy and my own life. I do not believe this is something I should have to apologize for. What I do feel sorry about is that, because of me, people who I believe are genuine fans have been subjected to hurtful words and criticism from people I do not consider true fans, things they should never have had to hear, see or experience. Please do not hurt the fans who love and respect Nana not merely as a celebrity, but as a human being beyond the label of a celebrity. Please stop causing them any further harm. I sincerely apologize to the fans who have been quietly enduring and putting up with all of this. And I will remember every single word of encouragement you have given me, along with how precious those words are and how deeply grateful I am for them. I promise to repay your support by continuing to show you the best version of myself."
