A man named A, who invaded the home of singer and actress Nana, a former member of the girl group After School, has filed an appeal against the 7th-year prison sentence he received.

According to a StarNews investigation, A personally submitted an appeal document on the 10th, contesting the 7th-year sentence for the charge of robbery and assault.

On the 9th, the First Criminal Division (Da) of the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court held a sentencing hearing for A on the charge of robbery and assault, sentencing him to 7 years in prison. In the earlier closing arguments, the Prosecution Service requested 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 victims."

On that day, the court stated, "First, we find the defendant guilty of robbery and assault against Nana's mother. The charge of robbery and assault against Nana appears to be more appropriately classified as robbery resulting in death. We determine that the defendant was in possession of a knife at the time. Considering the specific and consistent testimonies of the victims, and the fact that the defendant admitted in a post he secretly posted online to seek legal advice before being handed over to the police that he possessed the knife for dangerous purposes, we have taken these circumstances into account."

The court further noted, "Even if it is acknowledged that the defendant engaged in a physical struggle to suppress the victim's resistance and set the knife aside, and that Nana stabbed the defendant's neck with the knife in that gap, such an injury does not necessarily constitute a crime of assault. The victim's actions were justified self-defense."

The court added, "The defendant entered the premises at night, when absolute peace should be maintained, while armed with a weapon, committing robbery and assault and robbery resulting in death. Considering the gravity and seriousness of the crime, a corresponding punishment is inevitable. The victims have suffered physical and mental pain and have expressed their desire for punishment. The defendant has a history of multiple criminal punishments. However, we have taken into account that the crime was attempted, that injuries occurred during the process, that there is no indication the defendant intended to use the knife as a means of killing, and the nature and circumstances of the injuries sustained by the victims."

A was arrested and indicted on charges of entering Nana's residence in Achon-dong, Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do, on the morning of November 15, 2025, and threatening Nana and her mother with a weapon in an attempt to steal money.

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, claiming he was injured while being subdued by Nana and her mother. However, the police determined Nana's actions to be justified self-defense and decided not to prosecute. Nana filed a counter-complaint against A for false accusation.

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 surprised and told me to leave, so I only came to steal things to calm her down, but she pushed me." He continued, "Nana's mother threatened my neck with a knife and stabbed me. I tried to calm Nana's mother by hugging her and did not strangle her." He added, "After being stabbed by the knife, I bled heavily. I was also hit by Nana's mother several times. I was holding the blade with both hands, and if I let go, I would die. I then held on with my right hand. I even heard the sound of skin tearing. Eventually, the standoff ended. I committed no assault. If hugging constitutes assault, I admit it."

A explained, "I answered all questions about why I did this, my name, and my age. My mother suffered a brain hemorrhage and is in the hospital. Since I was in a situation where I had to borrow the 10th million won fine I received in a previous trial from her, I ended up stealing things." He also stated, "Nana said she would call the police if I brought a knife. We talked for about 30 minutes, and then they immediately reported it to the police."

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

Nana and her mother appeared as witnesses at the third trial of A's robbery and assault charge on April 21. At that time, upon seeing A in court, Nana immediately expressed her anger, saying, "Is this fun?" She then told A, "Is it fun to commit robbery and roam around freely? Look me in the eyes. Is it fun?" A did not avert his gaze but looked directly at her.

In the subsequent interrogation, 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," expressing her trauma.

After the trial, Nana shared on her fan communication platform, "Seeing his face made me so speechless and angry that I failed to control my emotions. However, I said everything I couldn't say anywhere else, and I feel relieved." 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 he pays the price for all the heinous criminal acts so far," and shared the phrase 'Jaeopjadeok' (·reaping what one sows).

Subsequently, on the 9th, Nana posted a message on her SNS titled "Who is the victim?" She pointed out, "Multiple trials by a criminal. Six public trials, one closing trial today, totaling seven trials. Consistent false testimony and retraction. The criminal shows no remorse."

She emphasized, "During this process, the Prosecution Service requested a 10-year sentence. The court sentenced him to 3 years and 7 years in prison. Special robbery and assault carries a life sentence or at least 7 years in prison. There is no remorse. There is no forgiveness."
