A-na is a member of Hearts2Hearts. She hosted MBC's Show! Music Core from March 2025, just after her debut, until May 2026, and from that host's seat announced the group's first win on terrestrial TV.
A-na (에이나) became a music-show host five days after debuting with Hearts2Hearts. When the agency introduced her on 5 February 2025, it wrote that her name carries the meaning “me, who is an A in everything”. Her hosting job was already settled on the day of her debut. At the showcase for the first single The Chase on 24 February, A-na said, “I grew my dream of being a singer watching many seniors’ stages, and I’m grateful to be taking on the role of MC” (Ajunews), and the next day the production team of MBC’s Show! Music Core announced her as a new host alongside ZEROBASEONE’s Kim Gyu-vin and TWS’s Dohoon. The three took over from the 1 March broadcast, and A-na set out her resolve: “I want to make viewers’ Saturdays pleasant with my bright energy” (The Fact).
The hosting reached beyond the studio. She hosted Show! Music Core in JAPAN on 5–6 July 2025 with SHINee’s Minho and Kim Gyu-vin (Star News), and Show! Music Core in MACAU on 7–8 February 2026 with Dohoon, Kim Gyu-vin and Zhang Hao (Sports Donga). On 14 March she called out her own group’s name from the host’s seat. That day Hearts2Hearts took first place on Show! Music Core with RUDE! — the group’s first win on a terrestrial-TV music show (Sports Kyunghyang).
On 27 April 2026 MBC announced that she would step down. “Taking on the big role of MC right after debut, I had many shortcomings, but I sincerely thank our S2U, who always cheered for me, and the Show! Music Core production team, who trusted and guided me,” A-na said (Edaily). Ilgan Sports summed it up: she had hosted the show for about a year and two months, from 1 March 2025 to 2 May 2026. In July she appeared as a special MC on SBS’s TV Animal Farm for the 12 and 19 July broadcasts, saying, “It’s a real honour to host a programme I used to enjoy watching every Sunday morning” (Celeb Media).
On KBS Cool FM’s Lee Eun-ji’s Gayo Plaza (이은지의 가요광장) on 7 March 2025, two weeks after the debut, she recalled first hearing ‘The Chase’: “The mood keeps changing within the song, and it’s dreamlike and mysterious, so I thought, ‘This will work,’ ‘It works,’ ‘I had a feeling’” (Newsen). At the showcase for the first mini album FOCUS she named “the energy that comes from having many members and razor-sharp choreography” as what sets the group apart (iMBC Entertainment), and on the first anniversary she picked that showcase as her most memorable moment: “Doing the showcase, I felt closer to the fans” (The Fact).
At the showcase for the second mini album Lemon Tang on 22 June 2026 she compared the title track with the earlier summer single STYLE: “It’s a bit fresher and more refreshing than that. Listening to it, you’ll get cool, feel-good energy.” She added, “Since it’s a summer album, I hope the song gets called a ‘summer song’” (Dailian).

The Korea Economic Daily reported that a debut media showcase was held that day at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. The eight debut members are 지우, 카르멘, 유하, 스텔라, 주은, A-na, 이안 and 예온.
