In Mask Girl Nana portrays Momi, a character that not only demands intense acting but also requires her to perform a dance sequence. For this sequence, she performed Sohn Dam Bi‘s iconic Korean hit “Saturday Night.” However, it wasn’t just any performance — it had an entirely new sections of choreography!

The video has brought back the memories of her idol days and reminded everyone why she was one of the most loved idols in the industry.
The dance practice video starts with Nana and her fellow actress Han Jae Yi — who plays Kim Chun Ae in the show — starting out the dance sequence. The After School member looks gorgeous as ever, even though she’s only wearing a simple black tanktop and leggings for maximum comfort.
As the music starts, however, the atmosphere shifts. The confidence with which she moves, the fluidity of her steps, and her ever-so-charming expressions are proof that time has only polished her skills. It’s hard to believe that she has been away from the dancing scene for almost a decade.
