"The mother has regained consciousness, and both of them are currently in need of treatment and complete rest."

Nana (her real name is Im Jin-ah) first rose to fame back in 2009 with the popular K-pop girl group After School. This spawned sub groups Orange Caramel and After School Red.

The group is no longer active, but she has gained popularity over the past decade as an actor starring in several TV series, including Kill It and Justice, both crime dramas which first aired in 2019.

Then in 2021 she was cast in the Netflix series Glitch, a South Korean science fiction series about a young woman who teams up with a UFO enthusiast to search for her boyfriend who has mysteriously disappeared.

She is also reportedly starring in the upcoming drama Climax and the Netflix series Scandals (tentative title), where she plays the role of Hui-yeon, a widow who vows to remain chaste after losing her husband.

Based on the 2003 Korean film Untold Scandal, it reimagines the story of the French novel Dangerous Liaisons and features a 'dangerous love game' between the characters. The drama is set to be released next year.

But music is still a passion as Nana released her first ever solo album in September. Titled Seventh Heaven 16, it means 'the highest happiness' and she paid tribute to her mother as she she unveiled a new tattoo of the year 1968 - a tribute to her mother's birth year.
