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&#8217;s actions as self-defense and decided not to prosecute. Nana filed a counter-complaint against A for false accusation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">In his final statement, A read a letter he had written himself and said, &#8220;I am sorry to the victims. I will never commit a crime again.&#8221; However, he also insisted, &#8220;I did not stab anyone or commit any assault.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">During his interrogation as a defendant, A stated, &#8220;There was no knife when I broke into the house. I was surprised when I came face to face with Nana&#8217;s mother. Nana&#8217;s mother was also startled and told me to leave, so I only came to steal things to calm her down, but she pushed me.&#8221; He added, &#8220;Nana&#8217;s mother threatened me with a knife around my neck and stabbed me. I hugged her to calm her down and did not strangle her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">He continued, &#8220;After being stabbed by the knife, I bled heavily. I was also hit by Nana&#8217;s mother several times. I was holding the blade with both hands, and if I let go, I would have died. I then held it with my right hand. I even heard the sound of skin tearing. Eventually, the standoff ended. I did not assault anyone at all. If hugging counts as assault, I admit it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">A explained, &#8220;I told them my name and age when they asked why I did this. My mother collapsed from 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 the previous trial from her, I ended up stealing things.&#8221; He also said, &#8220;Nana told me to say I brought the knife and threatened to call the police. We talked for about 30 minutes, and they immediately called the police.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">A stated, &#8220;I admit my mistake, but I did not bring a knife, nor did I strangle anyone or commit any assault. I have reflected deeply. I am sorry.&#8221; He also said, &#8220;At the time of the break-in, I did not know the victim was Nana; I only found out during the police investigation.&#8221; A clarified, &#8220;Nana told me to say I brought the knife, so that&#8217;s what I said during the investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026060908434317741_2.jpg\" alt=\"Actress Nana \/Photo=NEWS1) Reporter Yang Hee-moon\" width=\"640\" height=\"861\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   class=\"bg-gray-e\"\/>Actress Nana \/Photo=NEWS1) Reporter Yang Hee-moon<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">Meanwhile, Nana and her mother appeared as witnesses at the third trial of A&#8217;s aggravated robbery charge on April 21. At that time, upon seeing A in court, Nana immediately said, &#8220;Is this fun?&#8221; expressing her anger. She then told A, &#8220;Is it fun to do things like robbery and roam around freely? Look me in the eyes. Is it fun?&#8221; A did not avert his gaze and looked back at Nana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">In the subsequent interrogation, Nana spoke about the situation at the time of the incident: &#8220;After experiencing this incident, I thought I was fine. But unconsciously, it has remained as a trauma in my life. I came here praying for the case to be resolved quickly,&#8221; also voicing her trauma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">After the trial, Nana shared on her fan communication platform: &#8220;Seeing his face made me so speechless and angry that I failed to control my emotions. However, I was able to say everything I wanted to say clearly.&#8221; She added, &#8220;I also said what I wanted to say to that man, and I have no regrets about my actions or words. Everyone must have been very worried, but I am fine. I believe it will now be concluded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 leading-normal\">Nana also posted on her SNS account, &#8220;I hope you pay the price for all the heinous crimes you have committed so far,&#8221; and shared the phrase &#8220;japjaedok&#8221; (self-inflicted consequences), which means &#8220;reaping what one sows.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-6 break-all\">&lt;\u00a9 STARNEWS.
