Nana's Tattoo Purge: The Surprising Reason Behind Her Ink Removal

In 2025, former K-pop idol Nana, who was once known for her extensive tattoo collection, has revealed the surprising reason behind her decision to remove most of her body art. Nana, who was a member of the popular group After School, had amassed a wide array of tattoos over the years, becoming a symbol of her eccentric charm. However, a few years ago, she began the process of removing almost all of her tattoos, leaving behind only one.

Through a recent social media post, Nana opened up about her tattoo removal journey. She shared that the only tattoo she kept was the one that held the most meaning for her - the number "1968", which represented her identity and the existence she respects the most. Nana explained that although the removal process was painful, she overcame it with determination, acknowledging and accepting the pain. She expressed a desire to create music that anyone can relate to, with a message of hope for those who may be struggling with their own challenges.

Nana's decision to remove her tattoos was also influenced by her mother, who had previously allowed her to get the tattoos but later expressed a desire to see her with a "clean body" again. The actress has since focused heavily on her acting career, appearing in several high-profile projects, and has now made a much-anticipated return to the music industry with her solo debut album "Seventh Heaven 16," her first release in 16 years.
