Editor's Take:

Sana is one of the most popular members of Twice, a leading K-pop girl group. She moved from Osaka to Seoul as a teenager to train as a singer. A reality contest decided the group's line-up. Her cheerful personality made her a favourite with fans. One playful line in an early hit became a national catchphrase. She has helped Twice win huge success in Japan. Her sub-unit with fellow Japanese members has topped charts there.
