Nana responded on November 5 to hostile comments about her relationship with T.O.P, a former member of BigBang. Tuổi Trẻ, citing South Korean outlet OSEN, reported that she addressed the comments on her personal account. Thanh Niên identified the post as an Instagram Story. The actor focused on her freedom to decide when to discuss her relationship publicly and on the effect the comments could have on her fans.
What Nana said in the post
Nana questioned why her decision about whom to date had prompted judgments about her conduct. In the accounts carried by both Vietnamese outlets, she described the decision to go public as part of her private life. She asked people who criticised her to reconsider what they expected of an artist when those expectations differed from that person’s own choices.
She also thanked fans who had followed her for 17 years. Tuổi Trẻ reports that she expressed concern for supporters caught up in comments directed at her relationship and asked critics to stop causing them distress.
From the October announcement to November
Nana confirmed the relationship on October 2, according to Tuổi Trẻ. Both newspapers said the pair met through work on a music video, but named different productions, leaving the title unconfirmed.
Before the post, they appeared at a café where fans had organised a birthday event for T.O.P. Both outlets mention the visit but give different dates, leaving its precise timing unconfirmed. The post the next day set out Nana’s position on making her own decisions and her request that longtime supporters be treated with respect.
