A man, identified as A, who was sentenced to prison for breaking into the home of actress Nana (real name Lim Jin-a) and attempting robbery, has filed countercharges against her, leading to additional accusations of false accusation.
According to Nana's agency, Sublime, prosecutors added charges of false accusation against A in September. A is accused of breaking into Nana's home in Guri, South Korea, on November 15 last year, threatening her and her mother with a weapon while demanding money. During the struggle to subdue A, both Nana and her mother sustained injuries requiring 33 and 31 days of recovery, respectively.
In June, the court sentenced A to seven years in prison. He denied possessing a weapon and appealed the decision, claiming his innocence in a letter to the media. Subsequently, A filed a lawsuit against Nana for attempted murder and aggravated assault, alleging he was injured during the confrontation. However, police determined that Nana's actions were justified as self-defense and did not pursue charges against her.
In response, Nana filed a counterclaim against A for false accusation. Following witness interviews and mobile phone forensics, prosecutors concluded that A's claims were unfounded and proceeded with additional charges against him. A is currently awaiting trial on the false accusation charges.
Sublime stated, "We hope that the artist and her family will no longer suffer from false claims and secondary harm, and we will continue to do our best to ensure the safety and mental well-being of our artist."
