According to Korean media outlet OSEN, Sana, a Japanese singer based in South Korea, has accepted an offer to star in the upcoming film Nyangi after reviewing the script.
The movie is a Korea-Japan joint production that will reportedly feature Japanese actor Takeru Satoh and Sana as its lead stars.
