Singer and actress Nana has voiced her firm opposition to forgiving the man who invaded her home and attempted to rob her, following his seven-year prison sentence. The 35-year-old celebrity, formerly of the idol group After School, shared her feelings on Instagram.

The criminal has no remorse.

โ€” NanaReacting to the intruder's claims and the court proceedings on Instagram.

Nana posted a news article detailing the court's decision, accompanied by the statement, "The criminal has no remorse." She directly questioned the narrative, writing, "Criminal: I am wronged. Victim: ?" implying a stark contrast between the perpetrator's claims and her own experience as the victim.

The incident occurred in November when a man in his 30s broke into Nana's home in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, threatening her with a weapon and demanding money. Nana and her mother managed to subdue the intruder, sustaining injuries in the process. The perpetrator later claimed he was injured by Nana during the struggle, but police dismissed his accusations.

Criminal: I am wronged. Victim: ? Who is the victim?

โ€” NanaHighlighting the perceived disparity between the perpetrator's claims and her experience.

During the trial, the defendant reiterated his claims of injury, presenting a medical report. However, Nana countered these assertions on Instagram, stating, "There have been multiple trials due to the criminal. Consistent false statements." She also expressed disappointment with the sentence, noting that the prosecution had sought 10 years, while the court handed down seven.

There have been multiple trials due to the criminal. Consistent false statements.

โ€” NanaExpressing frustration with the defendant's repeated false claims.

The court cited the severity of the crime, including the intruder's armed entry into a "place of absolute peace," as reasons for the sentence. However, it also considered that the robbery was an attempted act and the weapon used did not appear intended for inflicting serious harm. Nana's strong reaction underscores the emotional toll of such a violation, emphasizing that for her, there is no room for forgiveness.

The defendant intruded into the victims' residence, a place that should be of absolute peace, while armed with a weapon. Considering the severity of the crime, corresponding punishment is unavoidable.
