Nana to "Meet Healthily" with Drug Offender T.O.P? Chilly Reactions

Nana admitted to her romance with T.O.P, personally stating, "We will meet beautifully and healthily," but fans' reactions were not filled with only congratulations. As T.O.P's past marijuana incident is being resurfaced, diverging reactions continue regarding the two's public relationship.

On the 2nd, after the dating rumors were revealed, Nana shared her feelings through a fan communication platform, saying, "I was very flustered. I feel a little embarrassed too." She followed this by stating, "We will meet beautifully and healthily," effectively admitting to the relationship with T.O.P. It is known that the two formed a connection through the music video for T.O.P's solo album title track and developed into lovers last June.

The problem is T.O.P's past. In 2016, T.O.P was taken to trial on charges of smoking marijuana at his residence in Yongsan District, Seoul, and in 2017, he was sentenced to 10 months in prison suspended for 2 years by the Seoul Central District Court. At that time, T.O.P admitted to the charges and expressed his position of reflecting on his mistakes.

Because of this, regarding the expression "meet healthily" left by Nana, negative reactions emerged in some online spaces, bringing up the past incident again. Opinions diverged, ranging from criticisms such as "Was there a need to use the expression 'healthily'?" to reactions expressing disappointment regarding the meeting of the two themselves. In fact, some entertainment media outlets also covered the online reactions surrounding this expression as a major issue.

The connection between the two did not start from a simple dating rumor. It is reported that they first met during the production process of T.O.P's solo studio album last January when Nana appeared in the music video for 'Completely Crazy!', and subsequently grew closer to develop into a romantic relationship. Both sides admitted to the dating on the 2nd.

T.O.P has since reappeared before the public while continuing his activities as an actor and solo musician, and Nana has also been active, moving between being a singer and an actress. While how to view the past incident and the current relationship is up to each individual, interest surrounding the two, who have started a public relationship, is expected to continue for the time being.
