Singer and actor Nana will take the stand as a witness in the trial of a home invasion robbery case involving her residence.

Her agency, Sublime, said on Saturday that Nana will appear as a witness at a hearing scheduled for April 21 at the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court.


The witness examination will be conducted behind closed doors at the request of the victim’s side.

Last year, a man allegedly broke into Nana’s residence in Guri, Gyeonggi, at around 6 a.m. on Nov. 15 and threatened Nana and her mother with a weapon.

At the time, Nana and her mother subdued the intruder after a physical struggle and reported the incident to the police. Both sustained injuries in the process, while the man also suffered a jaw injury.

The suspect, who is currently in custody, filed a countersuit against Nana, accusing her of attempted murder and aggravated assault, claiming that he had also been injured.

Police, however, concluded that Nana’s actions constituted self-defense based on the circumstances and available evidence, and decided not to forward the case to prosecutors.

Nana later filed a complaint against the suspect on charges of false accusation with the Guri Police Station in Gyeonggi.

Meanwhile, the suspect has been indicted and detained on charges of robbery resulting in injury and is currently on trial at the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court. While he admitted to unlawful entry during the first hearing, he denied the robbery charge, claiming he had no intention to commit theft.
