HOT ISSUE’s Dana is the fashionista member who wears the plainest clothes and was chosen by Nahyun during her debut show because she is usually interested in fashion.

As the member with the best sense of entertainment, Yebin selected Dana during her debut showcase. Even if she doesn’t have to try to be funny, it’s funny if she just sits still.
Although the members’ backgrounds during their training are different, they shared the same desire for their earnest dream of debuting. S2 Entertainment, led by Chairman Hong Seung-seong, is the place where the dream that felt far away came true.
HOT ISSUE appeared in the music industry with their debut song “Gratata.”

As a former trainee from a Big Agency in South Korea, Dana shared her previous trainee experience that helped her debut by saying, “I auditioned for YG Entertainment for the first time in middle school. I didn’t receive training as a YG trainee but occasionally they contacted me and gave me feedback on what I practiced. I was grateful to be able to listen to advice from my side.”
When asked if she originally had a dream in K-pop and had a role model, HOT ISSUE’s Dana said, “My role model is Jennie from BLACKPINK. It’s great to have a very confident figure. She also has a fashion sense and stage control. I admired things when she performed at Coachella and watched the fancams.”
HOT ISSUE’s Dana also shared about her personal goal she wants to achieve during her debut era by saying, “I want to make a song with our members participating.”
On May 4, 2021, HOT ISSUE held its debut stage that was aired on SBS’ Inkigayo.
