"I didn't know it was a celebrity's house," he said…police to soon send case to prosecutors
Singer and actor Nana was the victim of an intruder, and a man in his 30s who entered her home armed with a weapon and threatened her has been arrested and detained.
On the 15th Nana's agency Sublime said, "In the early morning a robber armed with a weapon broke into Nana's home," in an official statement. The robber entered the home through the balcony, and a very dangerous situation occurred in which Nana and her mother were directly threatened.
According to the agency, Nana's mother lost consciousness after suffering serious injuries during the assailant's attack. Nana was also injured during a scuffle, and both require treatment and absolute rest at this time. Sublime said, "The matter is currently investigating, so it is difficult to disclose specific details," and asked, "The safety of the victims and their family is a top priority. Please refrain from reckless speculation, comments that invade privacy, and spreading false information, as they can lead to secondary harm."
In connection with this, on the 17th Guri Police Station in Gyeonggi said an arrest warrant was issued for a man in his 30s identified as A on suspicion of attempted special robbery. The court ordered detention, saying "there is a risk of flight."
Police investigation found that A was not a sasaeng fan nor was the crime aimed at a specific celebrity. During questioning he reportedly said, "I didn't know it was a celebrity's house. I broke in because I lacked living expenses."
A used a ladder to climb up to the balcony of Nana's home in Acheon-dong, Guri, at about 6 a.m. on the 15th, then entered through an unlocked door. At the time he threatened Nana and her mother with a weapon while demanding money, and after a scuffle Nana's mother was seriously injured and lost consciousness. Nana was also injured during the subduing.
After completing its investigation of A, the police plan to send the case to prosecutors soon.
Meanwhile, Nana debuted in 2009 with After School and has appeared in various dramas including The Good Wife and Mask Girl. Next year she is scheduled to meet audiences in ENA's "Climax" and Netflix's "Scandal" (working title).
