Actor Nana, formerly of After School, appeared in court as a witness in the home-invasion robbery case involving her residence.
On the 21st, the Criminal Division 1 of the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court held the third hearing for a man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, who was indicted and detained on charges of robbery resulting in injury. Nana and her mother testified as victims, and their statements were heard behind closed doors.
Nana arrived at court wearing a cap and mask. Speaking to reporters, she said, “I took a calming pill. I’m so nervous.” Asked what she intended to say in court, she replied, “I will speak transparently, exactly as it happened.” Regarding the defendant’s denial of the charges, she said, “It’s absurd. The fact that I’m standing here is ironic.”
Mr. A is accused of entering Nana’s home in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, on November 15 last year, threatening Nana and her mother with a weapon, and demanding valuables. The two reportedly subdued him after a struggle and immediately reported the incident to police. Investigators believe he targeted the area because it is known for luxury homes.
However, the defendant’s side claims there was no intent to commit robbery. While admitting to trespassing, the defense argues that it was an attempted theft and also claims that Nana’s side assaulted him.
After the incident, Mr. A filed a countersuit alleging attempted murder and aggravated assault against Nana, claiming he was injured. Police concluded that Nana’s actions amounted to self-defense and cleared her of charges. Nana’s side then filed a counter-complaint accusing him of false accusation.
Before appearing in court, Nana also wrote on social media, “Everyone is worried, but don’t worry. I’ll do well,” adding, “I will speak only the truth, exactly as it is.”
Attention is now on how the court will proceed following Nana’s testimony.
