[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Actress Nana has issued a personal apology following continued criticism that her lips looked unnatural after the release of the Netflix series "Scandal."

On the 22nd, Nana posted on Bubble, her paid fan engagement platform, saying, “If my lips caused discomfort to viewers, it is my fault.” She added, “I believe my personal choice was inappropriate for an actress.”
In “Scandal,” which premiered worldwide on the 18th via the global online video service (OTT) Netflix, Nana starred as Hee-yeon. Set during the Joseon Dynasty, “Scandal” has faced criticism since its release that Nana’s lips look unnatural and disrupt the viewers’ immersion in the show.
Ultimately, Nana addressed the issue directly. “I think it must be painful for my fans who love me to see the harsh criticism,” she said, expressing her concern for them. “That’s why I feel even more sorry. I’ll do my best so that we can hear positive comments together in the future.”
Meanwhile, “Scandal” is a Netflix series that tells the story of “Lady Jo”—a woman with exceptional talent who feels confined by her role as a woman in the Joseon Dynasty—and “Jo Won,” the greatest womanizer in Joseon, as they engage in a daring and dangerous love wager, as well as the story of “Hee-yeon,” a woman entangled in that wager. It is a remake of the 2003 film “Scandal: A Story of Passion in the Joseon Dynasty.” Just three days after its release, it reached No. 7 on Netflix’s Global Non-English Shows chart.
