The Prosecution Service has sought a 10-year prison sentence for male suspect A, who broke into the home of Nana, a singer and actress formerly of the girl group After School.

The First Criminal Division (B) of the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court held the fifth trial session on the robbery and assault charges against A on the 19th. On this day, the court proceeded with the defendant's testimony but concluded the arguments without conducting the scheduled witness examinations.

On this day, the Prosecution Service stated, "The severity of the crime is serious, there is no sign of remorse, and no agreement has been reached with the victim," and thus sought a 10-year prison sentence for A.

Earlier, during the defendant's testimony, A said, "There was no knife during the home invasion. I was surprised when I came face to face with Nana's mother. Nana's mother was also startled and told me to leave, so I only came to steal things to calm her down, but she pushed me." He added, "Nana's mother threatened my neck with a knife and stabbed the neck area. I tried to calm Nana's mother by hugging her and did not strangle her."

He continued, "After being stabbed by the knife, I bled heavily. I was also hit by Nana's mother several times." He stated, "I was holding the blade with both hands, and if I let go, I would have died. I then held it with my right hand. I could even hear the sound of skin tearing. Eventually, the standoff ended. I did not assault anyone at all. If hugging counts as assault, I will admit it."

A explained, "I answered all questions about why I did this, including my name and age. My mother suffered a brain hemorrhage and is in the hospital. Since I had to borrow the 10th million won fine I received in a previous trial from her, I ended up stealing things." He also said, "Nana told me to say that I brought the knife and threatened to report me to the police. We talked for about 30 minutes, and they immediately reported it to the police."

A responded, "I admit my mistake, but there is no truth to the claims that I brought a knife, strangled anyone, or committed assault. I have reflected deeply. I am sorry." He also stated, "At the time of the intrusion, I did not know the victim was Nana; I only found out during the police investigation."

Later, A clarified, "Nana told me to say that the knife I brought was the one I brought, so I said that during the investigation."

A was arrested and prosecuted last November 15 for breaking into Nana's residence in Achon-dong, Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do, in the early morning, and for attempting to extort money by threatening Nana and her mother with a weapon.

At the time of the incident, Nana and her mother subdued A through a physical struggle and handed him over to the police. Subsequently, A filed a counter-complaint against Nana for attempted murder and other charges, claiming he was injured while being subdued by Nana and her mother. However, the police determined that Nana's actions constituted lawful self-defense and decided not to prosecute. Nana filed a counter-complaint against A for false accusation.

Later, Nana and her mother appeared as witnesses at the third trial session on the robbery and assault charges against A on April 21. At that time, upon seeing A in court, Nana immediately said, "Is this fun?" expressing her anger. She then told A, "Is it fun to commit robbery-like acts and roam around freely? Look me in the eyes. Is it fun?" A did not avert his gaze and looked directly at Nana.

In the subsequent testimony, Nana spoke about the situation at the time of the incident: "After experiencing this incident, I thought I was fine. However, it has remained in my life as a trauma without me realizing it. I came here praying for the case to be resolved quickly," also expressing her trauma.

After the trial, Nana conveyed through a fan communication platform, "Seeing his face made me so speechless and angry that I failed to control my emotions. However, I was able to say everything I couldn't say anywhere else, and it felt relieving." She added, "I also said what I wanted to say to that man, and I have no regrets about my actions and words. Everyone must have been very worried, but I am fine. I believe it will now be concluded."

Nana also posted on her SNS account, "I hope you pay the price for all the heinous crimes you have committed so far," and shared the phrase "Jawap-jadeuk" (self-inflicted consequences), meaning one must bear the consequences of one's own actions.
