Former BIGBANG member T.O.P and singer-actress Nana are dating.
Their agencies confirmed the relationship on Friday, 2 October 2026, after Korean entertainment outlet Dispatch reported earlier in the day that the pair were together.
For those who suddenly feel like checking old music videos for “clues”, yes, there is one.
The two previously worked together on the music video for T.O.P’s “Studio54”, which was released in April 2026 as part of his first full-length solo album, ANOTHER DIMENSION.
They Met While Filming “Studio54”
According to Yonhap, T.O.P’s agency Top Spot Pictures said the two first met during the filming of his music video.
The agency said they later grew closer and began dating around June 2026.
Nana’s agency Sublime also confirmed the relationship. Soompi reported that Sublime said the two formed a connection while filming the music video and are now dating.
Dispatch had reported earlier on Friday morning that the two were in a relationship and published photos of them together, including at a convenience store.
Nana Starred in T.O.P’s Music Video
Nana appeared in the music video for “Studio54”, one of the double title tracks from T.O.P’s album ANOTHER DIMENSION.
Soompi reported in April 2026 that the music video starred Nana and was released on 8 April at 6pm KST.
The song was described as drawing from 1980s house music, while the video also involved crew members who had worked on Squid Game 2, including art director Chae Kyung Sun and cinematographer Kim Ji Yong.
The pair also appeared together in promotional YouTube content around the album release.
So yes, in K-pop terms, this is basically the “they were just colleagues” chapter turning into “actually, never mind”.
Who They Are
T.O.P, whose real name is Choi Seung-hyun, debuted with BIGBANG in 2006.
He later left the group in 2023 and returned to wider public attention through Netflix’s Squid Game Season 2 before releasing his solo album in April 2026.
Nana, whose real name is Im Jin-ah, debuted with After School in 2009.
She was also part of the subunit Orange Caramel before moving more heavily into acting. Her acting credits include The Good Wife, Mask Girl and The Scandal.
Nana Later Addressed Fans
CHOSUNBIZ reported that after the relationship was acknowledged, Nana sent a message through a fan communication platform.
According to the report, she said she was surprised and a little shy, and added that they would meet each other in a pretty and healthy way.
Neither agency appeared to give further personal details beyond confirming the relationship and how the two became close.
