Police Rule Nana’s Action Against Armed Robber as Self-Defense

In a significant ruling, the police have determined that the force used by celebrity Nana and her mother against an armed intruder who broke into their home was an act of self-defense.

The decision, announced on November 22, 2025, by the Guri Police Station, clarifies the legal context of the physical altercation that occurred a week prior.

Details of the Aggravated Robbery

The incident took place on November 15 at approximately 6 a.m. KST. A man in his thirties, referred to as “A,” is accused of committing aggravated robbery and assault. The police plan to forward him to the prosecution on these charges.

• Method of Entry: “A” used a ladder to climb to the balcony and entered Nana’s house through an unlocked door.
• Initial Attack: Upon encountering Nana’s mother inside the house, the robber reportedly strangled her and inflicted injuries while demanding money.
• Intervention: Nana woke up after hearing her mother’s screams and attempted to stop the armed robber. A physical altercation ensued between the three individuals.

Subduing the Intruder: Nana and her mother ultimately managed to subdue “A” by grabbing his arm, allowing them to contact the police.

Police Ruling on Self-Defense

During the struggle, “A” suffered a laceration to his chin, which was caused by the weapon that he himself had brought to the home.

The key finding from the police investigation centered on whether the victims’ actions exceeded the necessary force for self-protection.

The Guri Police Station officially ruled that the injury inflicted on the robber was a direct result of self-defense, providing the following rationale:

“The victims suffered tangible harm, and our investigation found that they did not inflict serious injury while defending themselves… Looking at the situation overall, we determined that the victims’ actions constituted self-defense, so no charges were filed [against them].”

This ruling confirms that the victims’ response was proportional and justifiable given the circumstances of an armed break-in and physical assault.

Intended Target and Victim Injuries

The police investigation also determined that the robbery did not appear to be a targeted attack specifically because the home belonged to a celebrity.

Both Nana and her mother stated they had never met “A” before, and “A” claimed he was unaware a celebrity lived there when he broke in.

Regarding the victims’ condition, Nana’s agency, SUBLIME, had previously issued an official statement revealing the severity of their injuries:

“As a result of the robber’s physical assault, Nana’s mother lost consciousness due to serious injury, and Nana also sustained physical injury while trying to escape danger. At present, both are in need of medical treatment and complete rest.”

The legal resolution confirming self-defense closes the case regarding any potential charges against the victims, allowing Nana and her mother to focus on their recovery following the traumatic home invasion and physical assault.
