The appellate court sentencing hearing for A, a man in his 30s who broke into the home of Nana (35, real name Im Jin-ah), an actress from the group After School, and committed robbery, is held today (the 22nd).

A's appellate court sentencing hearing is scheduled to be conducted at 2 p.m. on the 22nd before the 14-3 Criminal Division (B) of the Seoul High Court in Seocho-gu, Seoul (Presiding Judge Jeong Kyung-geun, Judges Lee Hyeong-geun and Lee Hyun-woo).

A was previously indicted on charges of attempted robbery with injury for breaking into Nana's home in Achon-dong, Guri City, Gyeonggi Province around 5:38 a.m. last November 15, threatening the mother and daughter with a weapon, demanding money, but being subdued by them.

As a result of this incident, Nana and her mother B suffered injuries requiring 33 days and 31 days of treatment, respectively. A also filed a counter-suit against Nana for attempted murder and aggravated assault, claiming he was stabbed in the neck while being subdued, which sparked controversy. Subsequently, Nana's act was recognized as justifiable self-defense, resulting in a decision not to refer the case for prosecution, and the false accusation complaint filed by Nana's side was referred to the Prosecution Service with an opinion recommending prosecution.

Despite this, A has maintained an unrepentant attitude. The Prosecution Service sought a 10-year prison sentence for A in the appellate court. The Prosecution Service requested the court, "Considering that defendant A has multiple criminal records, the sentence from the first instance is too light. We ask you to overturn the first-instance judgment and sentence the defendant to 10 years in prison," pointing out, "The defendant's claims are entirely unbelievable. Although it is clearly established that the robbery was attempted and that the victim suffered injuries in the process, rather than repenting for his wrongdoings, he has filed criminal complaints and continues to make false claims. It can only be seen as continued secondary harm utilizing the fact that the victim is a famous celebrity."

In particular, multiple criminal records of A were revealed during the trial process. In this regard, Nana's agency Sublime stated on the 21st, "Nana and her mother suffered serious damage from a robber who broke in with a weapon last November. It has already been one year since the incident occurred. The criminal facts were proven through thorough investigation by law enforcement authorities, and the first-instance court also sentenced the defendant to 'robbery with injury.' However, despite numerous pieces of evidence and witnesses, the defendant continues to repeat the obvious false claim that 'he did not come in holding a weapon' without sincere remorse or apology to the victims, and even appealed claiming that the sentence handed down in the first instance was excessive."

They continued, "Not stopping there, the defendant has sent letters to multiple broadcasters and media outlets claiming he is wronged, continuing false and baseless claims. Making claims contrary to the facts causes confusion for broadcasters and media outlets, as well as inflicting continuous secondary harm on the victims. Accordingly, from the day of the incident to the present, not only the victims but also our agency are seriously concerned about the possibility of retaliation or reoffending by the unrepentant defendant. Furthermore, the defendant even took the inhumane and unethical action of counter-suing our artist for attempted murder and robbery with injury. Our artist immediately filed a complaint against the defendant for false accusation. Subsequently, law enforcement authorities conducted thorough investigations, including witness reference investigations and forensic analysis of restDaejeon. As a result, 'judging that the defendant's claims are all clearly false,' the defendant was indicted for false accusation and is currently awaiting trial in court."

Nana's side emphasized, "In addition, it was revealed during the trial process that the defendant committed multiple crimes other than this incident. The assigned prosecutor also mentioned to the effect that 'having met tens of thousands of criminals over 20 years, it is rare to see someone who has committed such a variety of crimes as the defendant. He fundamentally lacks a sense of law-abidingness, does not know how to reflect on his wrongdoings, and is very skilled at actively lying.' Our company hopes that the artist and family members who suffered serious damage from this incident will no longer suffer from false claims and secondary harm. Furthermore, our company will do its best to protect the safety and mental and physical well-being of our artist going forward."
