Nana Home-Invasion Robber Also Indicted for Stealing Wine Worth 23 Million Won

Sentenced to seven years in prison in both the first and appeals trials on robbery causing bodily injury charges
Also indicted for stealing wine from a supermarket more than 10 times

It has belatedly emerged that a man in his 30s who broke into singer and actress Nana's home and threatened Nana and her mother with a weapon was also indicted for stealing wine worth 23 million won.

According to News1 on November 4, the Criminal Division 1 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, led by acting chief prosecutor Lee Juhee, indicted the man, identified as Mr. A, twice on theft charges in August and October 2026. Mr. A is accused of stealing wine worth about 23 million won on more than 10 occasions from a large supermarket in Seocho-gu, Seoul, in November 2025.

Mr. A was also the man who broke into Nana's home in Acheon-dong, Guri, Gyeonggi Province, on November 15, 2025, and committed a robbery. Investigators found that he entered the house using a ladder, threatened Nana's mother with a weapon, and demanded valuables. Nana noticed what was happening and intervened. After a physical struggle, she and her mother subdued him and handed him over to the police. Nana and her mother sustained injuries that required 33 and 31 days of treatment, respectively.

Mr. A, who was indicted while in custody on charges of robbery resulting in injury, was sentenced to seven years in prison in the first trial. The court found that severe punishment was warranted, citing, among other things, that he had broken into another person's home while carrying a weapon and committed robbery. Mr. A appealed the ruling, but the seven-year sentence was upheld in the second trial held on October 22, 2026. He has since filed an appeal to the Supreme Court, which is set to make the final decision in the case.

It also caused controversy when it emerged during the trial that Mr. A had filed a complaint against Nana, the victim. He claimed that he had also been injured in the physical struggle during the incident and accused Nana of attempted murder and aggravated injury. However, the police determined that Nana had acted in self-defense and decided not to refer the case to prosecutors.

Nana then filed a countersuit against Mr. A for making a false accusation, and prosecutors indicted him without detention on that charge in September 2026. The cases against Mr. A for making a false accusation and theft have since been consolidated, and the trial is ongoing. The first hearing is scheduled for November 10, 2026. Nana debuted in 2009 as a member of the girl group After School and later expanded her career into acting. She has appeared in various productions, including the dramas "The Good Wife," "Kill It," "Justice" and "Mask Girl," as well as the film "The Swindlers."
