According to Netflix Korea, After School member-turned-actress Nana revealed a bizarre travel incident during a video release on September 17th, when she was left stranded without her phone at a rest stop after her manager’s car drove away without her. Featuring cast members from The Scandal including Son Ye Jin and Ji Chang Wook, the video details an unexpected hour-long delay that turned into a friendly encounter with people, including students.
How Nana Was Left Behind at a Rest Stop
The mishap began when the vehicle arrived at the rest stop, and the manager asked if Nana needed to use the restroom, according to Netflix Korea. Nana initially declined the offer. Shortly afterward, the manager walked to the restroom facility. Nana woke up soon after and decided she needed to use the facilities after all, stepping out of the vehicle without the manager’s knowledge. Because she had previously declined, the manager assumed she remained inside the cabin.
“The manager thought I was still in the car because I said I wasn’t going,” Nana explained, according to Netflix Korea. Nana had left her mobile device inside the vehicle when she exited. Her intuition warned her that the vehicle might depart without her, a suspicion that quickly materialized when she walked out of the restroom just in time to watch the automobile pull away.
Borrowing a Phone and Waiting Out the Hour-Long Delay
Stranded without a personal device, Nana had to borrow a communication device from a bystander at the rest facility. Facing the immediate hurdle of not knowing whose number to call, she successfully recalled her mother’s phone number. She reached her manager by first calling her mother to bridge the communication gap.
Because the manager had already traveled a significant distance, turning back immediately proved difficult, resulting in an hour-long wait. Rather than viewing the disruption as a frustrating ordeal, Nana embraced the downtime. She chatted with people at the rest stop and smiled as young students who recognized her offered her drinks, turning an isolated travel blunder into a positive memory.
