It has been confirmed that a man in his 30s who broke into the home of Nana (35, real name Im Jin-ah), an actress formerly of the group After School, and committed robbery has also been indicted on theft charges.

According to NEWS1 on the 4th, the Criminal Division 1 (Acting Chief Prosecutor Lee Ju-hee) of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office indicted a man in his 30s, identified as A, twice on theft charges between August and October.

Previously, investigations revealed that last November, he stole wine worth approximately 23 million won from a large supermarket located in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on more than 10 occasions.

This fact was recently revealed during the trial related to Nana's counter-suit. At the time, the Prosecution Service stated to the court, "Considering that defendant A has multiple criminal records, the sentence from the lower court is too lenient. We request that you overturn the lower court's decision and impose a 10-year prison sentence on the defendant."

The prosecution continued, "The defendant has been punished for various crimes, including online second-hand transaction fraud, investment fraud, drunk driving, assault, and battery. He is currently undergoing separate trials for insurance fraud disguised as traffic accidents. He also has a record of stealing high-end wine from a supermarket. The kitchen knife the defendant used during the crime was actually a product that could be easily purchased anywhere. It was confirmed to be on sale at the very supermarket where the defendant had been committing wine thefts." The prosecution added, "In over 20 years, prosecutors have met tens of thousands of criminals and many people, but it is rare to see someone who has committed such a diverse range of crimes like the defendant."

A was detained and indicted on charges of robbery and assault for breaking into Nana's home in Guri City, Gyeonggi Province last November, threatening Nana and her mother with a weapon, and demanding money. He was sentenced to seven years in prison in both the first and second instances.

Subsequently, A's side appealed, and the case is now awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court.

A was also indicted without detention on charges of false accusation on September 16 last year.

He claimed that he was also attacked and injured, and filed a complaint against Nana for attempted murder and aggravated assault during the investigation and trial process.

A argues that Nana's side first threatened him with a weapon and persuaded him to bring the weapon himself in exchange for money.

However, the police determined that Nana's actions constituted self-defense and did not refer the case to prosecutors this January. Subsequently, Nana filed a counter-complaint against A on charges of false accusation.

The Prosecutors' Office is known to have decided to send the case to trial after determining that the charge of false accusation was substantiated, based on a comprehensive review of Nana's testimony and forensic results from A's mobile phone.

A's trials for false accusation and theft charges are being heard jointly. The first hearing date is set for the 10th of this month.
