Singer and actress Nana, despite being the victim of a home-invasion robbery, has reportedly been countersued by the perpetrator on a charge of "attempted murder," sparking a major backlash. When the details of the case were revealed, netizens reacted with disbelief.
On the 2nd, Nana's agency Sublime said in an official statement, "The assault and injury case involving our actor Nana is a matter in which the perpetrator's criminal acts have been clearly confirmed through thorough investigation by investigative authorities," adding, "The intruder, who was armed with a weapon, caused serious physical and mental harm to actor Nana and her family."
Last November, Nana was threatened during a struggle with a robber who had broken into her home, and in the process her mother suffered serious injuries, including strangulation. Nana is also reported to have sustained physical injuries while trying to stop the attack. The perpetrator was later arrested by police, and at that time investigative authorities judged it to be self-defense.
However, the situation recently changed rapidly. According to multiple reports, the perpetrator A, who was detained on charges of special robbery and injury, suddenly changed his position during the investigation and is reported to have filed a criminal complaint accusing Nana of "attempted murder." A reportedly, contrary to his initial statements admitting the crime, has recently claimed that Nana's response was excessive.
In response, Nana's side took a tough stance. The agency said, "The perpetrator shows no remorse and is instead exploiting the fact that she is a celebrity to inflict secondary harm," and called it "an obvious inhumane act." They added, "Actor Nana considered leniency given the perpetrator's young age, but now that a countersuit has been filed, we have no choice but to take all legal measures."
They added, "We prioritize protecting the rights and interests of our artist and will pursue all civil and criminal legal responses," and "We will respond responsibly to the end to prevent any further harm."
When the news spread, netizens expressed anger. Responses included, "How can a robber file a countersuit?", "It's ridiculous that the victim becomes the perpetrator instead," and "Must she suffer this even though it was self-defense?"
Others said, "She's suffering greater harm because she's a celebrity," "This is clearly secondary victimization," and "She must fight legally to the end."
Nana, who was the victim but is now entangled in another legal battle. Public attention is focused on whether the truth of the case will be clearly revealed and what conclusion the law will reach.
