A 30-year-old man, identified as A, who was brought to trial for allegedly breaking into actress Nana's home and injuring Nana and her mother, has seen the online post he wrote on the day of his arrest become a key point of additional arguments.

The 1st Criminal Division of the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court held a trial on the 4th against A, who was prosecuted on suspicion of aggravated assault. The court had previously concluded arguments on the 19th of last month but conducted additional arguments ahead of the sentencing.

A was brought to trial for allegedly breaking into Nana's home in Achon-dong, Guri City, Gyeonggi Province, last November, threatening Nana and her mother, and demanding property.

During the defendant's questioning last month, A admitted to breaking into the home for the purpose of theft but denied the robbery charge. He claimed he did not initially carry a weapon and argued that Nana and her mother were the ones who first brandished a weapon and threatened him.

A stated, "Nana's mother threatened my neck with a weapon, and my neck was stabbed," adding, "I hugged her to calm Nana's mother down and did not strangle her."

He continued, "I was asked why I did this and my name and age, and I answered everything. My mother collapsed from a brain hemorrhage and is in the hospital. Since I was in a situation where I had to borrow 10 million won in fines I received in a previous trial from my mother, I ended up stealing items," he explained. He added, "Nana told me to bring a weapon and said she would report it to the police. We talked for about 30 minutes, and they immediately reported it to the police."

However, on this day, the Prosecution Service made the post A uploaded on the day of his arrest a key point of additional arguments. According to the Prosecution Service, A posted a message on an online site on the day he was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault. The post included content such as "What if an unauthorized intruder robber gets stabbed by a knife from the homeowner?" and "Possibility of substantive arrest warrant for attempted special robbery."

The post reportedly contained phrases such as "The homeowner and her daughter told me not to report while they were awake," "Stabbed the robber's face and beat him indiscriminately with fists," and "Transported to emergency care." It also reportedly included content such as "The victim does not wish for punishment" and "If the police submit a substantive arrest warrant, will I accept it?"

The court asked, "Why did you post such content?" In response, A argued, "This was not a post written before the crime. It was written at the police detention center because we reached an agreement with the victim. At that time, we had already pre-negotiated, so I testified this way, but I posted it because I was curious about how I would be punished. The answers to that have not been confirmed."

A repeated the same stance in his final statement. He said, "It is exactly the same as what I said in the previous trial." He added, "During the police investigation, the post was confirmed during the forensic process, and I explained why I wrote it. I posted the question because I was curious about what punishment I would receive if I did that; it was not a post written before the incident." He further added, "It was a post written after I spoke with the victims."

Additionally, A announced his intention to submit additional evidence to the court on this day. He said, "I am not sure if I can submit this, but I have obtained a medical opinion stating that I was cut more than 5 cm by a knife."

Regarding the meaning of the traces found on the knife, a dispute continued between the Prosecution Service and the defense team. The court stated, "While the defendant's DNA was confirmed on the blade and handle, fingerprints were not clearly observed on the sheath, making it difficult to specify. Based solely on the forensic results, it is difficult to prove the situation the defendant claims or the opposing situation." In response, A's side stated they would submit their opinions in writing on the relevant matters at a later date.

Meanwhile, A counter-sued Nana on suspicion of attempted murder and other charges, claiming he was injured while Nana and her mother were subduing him. However, the police determined that Nana's actions constituted self-defense and decided not to file charges. Consequently, Nana has filed a counter-suit against A on suspicion of false accusation.
