The day went by frantically and quickly, but it felt good to fill it up and spend it well.” 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.
