Nana’s mother previously submitted a notice of non-attendance on February 26 to the Uijeongbu District Court’s Namyangju branch, citing her intention not to testify in the case involving suspect A, who is charged with robbery and injury. She later filed an additional written explanation on March 5, while Nana also submitted her own statement supporting the decision.
Earlier, Nana’s legal representative had also filed a notice regarding non-attendance. While their absence has not been officially finalized, the court postponed the second hearing—originally requested by the defendant—by two weeks to March 24.
However, with both Nana and her mother submitting additional statements reiterating their position, it has become clear that they do not wish to face the defendant in court on the upcoming date either.
The suspect, identified as A, was arrested and indicted after allegedly breaking into Nana’s residence in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, at around 6 a.m. on November 15, 2025. He is accused of threatening Nana and her mother with a weapon in an attempt to extort money.
Nana and her mother reportedly subdued the intruder after a physical struggle and alerted the police. Investigations revealed that the suspect had targeted the affluent residential area due to worsening financial difficulties.
While in detention, the suspect filed a counter-complaint against Nana, accusing her of attempted murder. However, police dismissed the claim, ruling that her actions constituted self-defense.
During the first trial held on January 20, the defendant appeared in custody and partially admitted to entering the house using a ladder, but denied any intent to commit robbery. He claimed he entered for theft after noticing an open balcony window.
The suspect also argued that he was unaware the residence belonged to Nana and insisted he was not armed when he entered. He further alleged that he was the one being resisted during the confrontation, claiming that Nana suddenly attacked him with a weapon.
His statements were reportedly inconsistent, as he alternated between denying physical aggression and claiming he tried to calm the situation. He also denied strangling Nana’s mother, stating he only grabbed her shoulder.
In response, the judge questioned his claims, asking whether anyone would remain passive if a stranger broke into their home at dawn. The defendant ultimately acknowledged the point.
Meanwhile, Nana’s agency Sublime released an official statement emphasizing that Nana and her mother were victims of a serious crime involving an armed intruder. The agency stressed that the case has been consistently investigated and prosecuted as robbery with injury based on clear evidence and testimonies.
The agency further criticized the suspect for showing no remorse, filing a counter-complaint, and repeatedly changing his statements while spreading false claims. They described his actions as secondary victimization, particularly exploiting Nana’s public status.
Regarding the dismissed counter-complaint, the agency confirmed that police concluded there was no wrongdoing on Nana’s part. They added that legal action for false accusation has already been initiated against the suspect and vowed to pursue all possible civil and criminal measures.
Nana also recently spoke about the incident during a YouTube appearance, recalling the terrifying moment. She said, “*Everything felt chaotic, but I was very lucky. It felt like a split-second situation where every second mattered.*” She emphasized that she acted instinctively to protect her mother, adding that she had no prior martial arts training despite rumors suggesting otherwise.
