Nana was caught in a surprising new twist following a violent home invasion at her residence. The suspect, currently detained, filed a countersuit against Nana, claiming she failed to keep her promise to give him money, an accusation that left the public stunned.
According to a Jan. 2 broadcast of JTBC’s investigative program Case leaderthe man who broke into Nana’s house sent five handwritten letters to the production team via an acquaintance, outlining his version of events and insisting he had been wronged.
In the letters, the suspect stated that he had not premeditated the crime and that he had not prepared the weapon in advance. He claimed he left his bag outside the balcony, entered Nana’s house wearing only gloves and headphones and never physically harmed her. Instead, he claimed he was assaulted by Nana during the confrontation.
The inmate further stated this despite having entered the house with the intention of stealing valuable objects, the situation escalated after he was subdued. He claimed that Nana proposed a deal, telling him that if he testified to the police that he entered the house armed, she would give him 40 million won. He now insists the money was never paid.
However, police reports directly contradict these claims.
According to the police, the suspect entered Nana’s house carrying a bladed weapon in its sheath. Inside the home, Nana’s mother reportedly lost consciousness during the intrusion, and Nana later confronted the intruder, resulting in a physical struggle as she attempted to disarm him. The authorities said so Nana’s actions clearly constituted self-defense.
Police also rejected the suspect’s claims of assault there was no evidence to support his version of events. The investigators also revealed this the man initially admitted all charges during interrogation but later changed his testimony.
In his letter from prison, the suspect said he wrote to the media only after learning that Nana and her mother had filed medical injury reports, saying he felt “betrayed” and wanted to reveal the truth. However, the manufacturers of Case leader he reported it Nana’s side has adamantly denied ever offering money or making deals involving weapons or medical bills.
However, the sources say so the suspect begged Nana not to contact the police following the incident. While Nana’s mother initially planned to resolve the matter privately, Nana ultimately decided to report the crime.
Despite his changing statements, the suspect went to the extent of filing a counter-affidavit accusing Nana of attempted murder. Legal experts quoted in the program suggested this move could be a strategy to introduce self-defense arguments in court to reduce the sentence.
Nana’s agency responded firmly, saying investigators had already confirmed the suspect’s criminal actions through a thorough investigation. The agency condemned the countersuit as an attempt to exploit Nana’s public status and inflict secondary damage.
“There will be no mercy” we read in the press release. “We will pursue all possible civil and criminal legal actions against the perpetrator.”
As the case continues to unfold, public reaction has been extremely critical of the suspect’s claims, with many expressing concern about the misuse of countersuits as a legal tactic. The incident has reignited broader discussions in South Korea about victim protection, celebrity safety and the limits of legal retaliation.
