A court will deliver a verdict today against man A, who broke into the home of singer and actress Nana, formerly of the girl group After School.

The First Criminal Division (Da) of the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court will hold a sentencing hearing for A on the 9th on charges of aggravated robbery and assault. A was arrested and prosecuted for breaking into Nana's residence in Achon-dong, Guri, Gyeonggi Province, early on November 15 last year, threatening Nana and her mother with a weapon, and attempting to steal money.

During the incident, Nana and her mother subdued A after a physical struggle and handed him over to the police. Subsequently, A counter-sued Nana for attempted murder and other charges, claiming he was injured while being subdued by Nana and her mother. However, the police determined Nana's actions were self-defense and decided not to prosecute. Nana filed a counter-suit against A for false accusation.

During the earlier trial, the Prosecution Service sought a 10-year prison term for A, stating, "The severity of the crime is serious, he has shown no remorse, and no settlement has been reached with the victim."

During his interrogation, A stated, "There was no knife during the home invasion. I was surprised when I came face to face with Nana's mother. She 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 me with a knife around my neck and stabbed me. I hugged her to calm her down and did not strangle her."

He continued, "After being stabbed by the knife, I bled heavily. I was also hit several times by Nana's mother." He said, "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 even heard the sound of skin tearing. Eventually, the standoff ended. I committed no assault. If hugging counts as assault, I admit it."

A explained, "I answered all questions about why I did this, including my name and age. My mother collapsed from a brain hemorrhage and is in the hospital. Since I borrowed 10 million won in fines from her from a previous trial, I ended up stealing things." He added, "Nana told me to say 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 replied, "I admit my mistake, but there is no truth to claims that I brought a knife, strangled anyone, or committed assault. I have reflected deeply. I am sorry." He also stated, "I did not know the victim was Nana at the time of the intrusion; I only found out during the police investigation."

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

Subsequently, the Prosecution Service mentioned a post A had uploaded on the day of his arrest during a resumed trial held on the 4th ahead of the sentencing. According to the Prosecution Service, A posted on an online site on the day he was arrested on charges of aggravated robbery and assault. The post contained content such as "What if an intruder is stabbed with a knife by the homeowner?" and "Possibility of actual arrest warrant for attempted aggravated robbery."

The post reportedly included phrases such as "The homeowner and her daughter told me not to report while they were awake," "Stabbing the robber's face and indiscriminately punching," and "Emergency transport." It also reportedly contained content like "The victim does not wish for punishment" and "Will I be accepted if the police file for an actual arrest warrant?"

The judge asked, "Why did you post such content?" A responded, "That post was not written before the crime. It was written in the police detention center because I had reached a settlement with the victim. At that time, we had already pre-arranged this testimony, and I wrote it out of curiosity about how I would be punished. The answers regarding that have not been confirmed."

Nana and her mother appeared as witnesses at the third trial of A's aggravated robbery and assault charges 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 do things like robbery 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 described the situation at the time of the incident: "I thought I was okay after experiencing this case. But it has remained in my life like a trauma without me realizing it. I came here praying for the case to be resolved quickly," expressing her trauma.

After the trial, Nana shared on her fan communication platform, "Seeing his face made me so speechless and angry that I lost control of my emotions. However, I said 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 or 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.
