A man in his 30s, identified as A, who broke into the home of actress Nana (35, real name Im Jin-a), a former member of the group After School, and committed robbery, was sentenced to seven years in prison at the appeal trial as well.

At 2 p.m. on the 22nd, the Criminal Division 14-3 (Na) of the Seoul High Court (Presiding Judge Jeong Kyung-geun, Judges Lee Hyeong-geun and Lee Hyun-woo) held the sentencing hearing for A's appeal in a case where he was indicted on charges of aggravated robbery with injury.

The appellate court stated regarding A, "Considering all sentencing factors comprehensively, we determine that the sentence imposed by the lower court falls within a reasonable range. We do not consider it to be unduly harsh or lenient," and upheld the first-instance sentence of seven years in prison.

The court further announced, "We dismiss both the defendant's and the prosecution's appeals."

A was previously indicted on charges of attempted robbery after breaking into Nana's home in Achon-dong, Guri City, Gyeonggi Province, with a weapon around 5:38 a.m. on November 15 last year, threatening Nana and her mother with the weapon to demand money, only to be 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-complaint against Nana on charges of 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, leading to a decision not to refer the case for prosecution, while the false accusation complaint filed by Nana's side was referred to the Prosecution Service with a recommendation for indictment.

In June this year, the first-instance court found A guilty of most of the charges and sentenced him to seven years in prison.

Previously, at the final hearing of the appeal trial held in September, the Prosecution Service requested the court to sentence A to 10 years in prison, the same as the sentence sought in the first instance.
