Based on the foundation of deep trust and faith in one another that Nana and our agency have built up during our long journey together since her debut, we have renewed her contract for the third time.

As this trust has been built up over a long time through a true partnership and respect for one another, we will continue to actively support Nana so that she can pursue a broad array of activities, with a focus on acting, in the future as well.

We ask that you show warm support and interest, as well as unsparing love, for the path that Nana and PLEDIS Entertainment will walk together in the future.
