Former BIGBANG member-turned-soloist T.O.P revealed the decisive reason why he cast After School and Orange Caramel‘s Nana in his new music video. In a video released on April 28, 2026 (KST) via his YouTube channel, Nana asked him directly, “I’m curious, why me?”
T.O.P responded candidly, saying, “Honestly, ever since I first came up with the idea for ‘Studio54,’ I imagined an unknown, mysterious female character, someone whose era you can’t quite place.”
I wanted a kind of charm where you couldn’t tell whether she was from space or the past. She needed to have classical beauty, but at the same time—just like the song title—if a woman who looked truly, completely crazy appeared, I thought it would be incredibly captivating. And in my opinion, she fits that image the best.

In response to T.O.P’s sincere explanation, Nana simply said, “Thank you,” while T.O.P replied, “No, thank you,” in a heartwarming exchange.
