Victim Becomes the Accused in Bizarre Turn of Events
You guys, this is one of those stories that makes you go, “Wait, what?” So, Nana, the amazing actress and former member of the K-Pop group After School, is in the middle of a totally unbelievable situation. A man who broke into her home with a weapon last November is now suing *her*. Yes, you read that right. The robber, who was arrested for special aggravated robbery after Nana and her mom subdued him, has filed a countersuit from prison, accusing Nana of attempted murder and aggravated injury.
Back on November 15, 2025, the man entered Nana’s home in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, and attacked her mother. Hearing her mom’s screams, Nana woke up and, together, they managed to fight off and restrain the intruder until the police arrived. The police investigated and quickly determined that their actions were a clear case of justifiable self-defense, so no charges were filed against them. The robber, however, sustained a cut on his jaw during the struggle and is now using that as the basis for his lawsuit.
The Self-Defense Debate in Korea Heats Up
This whole mess has thrown a huge spotlight on the issue of self-defense laws in Korea, which can be super tricky. For an act to be considered self-defense, it has to be a response to a current and unjust threat, and the force used must be considered “reasonable.” It’s a very gray area, and many Koreans feel the law often protects the attacker more than the victim. People are pretty outraged that a victim who was defending her life and her family in her own home could end up being dragged into a legal battle like this.
Legal experts think the robber’s lawsuit is a desperate tactic to try and get a lighter sentence by muddying the waters and creating controversy around the self-defense ruling. Nana’s agency, Sublime, released a statement calling the robber’s actions “inhumane” and a form of “secondary harm.” They pointed out he’s exploiting her celebrity status and showing zero remorse for his crimes. They’ve vowed to take all possible legal action to protect Nana.
Nana Speaks Out to Fans
Through all this craziness, Nana has been so strong. She recently posted a message to her fans on a fan community platform, letting them know she’s aware of the situation and is doing her best to stay strong. She admitted it’s been mentally tough but that she’s focusing on her work and trying to overcome it. She wrote, “These kinds of unbelievable situations are still happening, and I’m in a position where I have to get through it.” She ended by assuring her fans not to worry and to trust that she will handle it.
What Happens Next?
Even though the police already ruled Nana’s actions as self-defense, they have to investigate the robber’s complaint as a matter of procedure. It’s a frustrating situation that highlights a major point of debate in the Korean legal system. Her agency is standing by her, ready for a legal fight, and fans are rallying behind her, shocked that a victim could be treated this way. We’re all hoping this gets resolved quickly and that justice truly prevails for Nana and her family.
