According to Korea Star Daily on 25/11, the incident occurred mid-November in Guri city, Gyeonggi province. A man over 30 years old used a ladder to climb onto a balcony, sneaking into the singer's home with a weapon. When Nana's mother discovered him, the thief threatened and choked her.
Hearing screams, Nana rushed to save her mother, and a fierce struggle ensued. The thief, small in stature, was subdued by the two women, who restrained his hands and feet. Police then arrived at the scene and arrested the man.

Both the singer and her mother were injured and required hospital treatment. The thief was also taken to the hospital due to a torn chin. The man confessed, stating he "thought the house was empty, did not know it was the singer's home, and broke in due to financial difficulties".
The thief accused Nana and her mother of "assault", but police determined that the injuries caused by the singer and her mother to the thief were acts of "legitimate self-defense", and they will not be prosecuted.
Nana's management agency stated that her mother sustained more severe injuries, even losing consciousness during the struggle. The agency thanked police for their timely arrival and expressed hope that fans would grant the singer privacy during her physical and mental recovery.
Nana, whose real name is Im Jin Ah, 34 years old, debuted in the Korean entertainment industry as a singer with the group After School. Since 2013, she has consistently been featured in TC Candler's Top 100 Most Beautiful Faces in the World, an American film, art, and beauty critique site, topping the list in two years: 2014 and 2015.
Beyond singing, Nana works as a model, MC, and has participated in reality television shows. In film, she has acted in The Good Wife, Into the Ring, Loi ky uc, Truy sat, Cong ly, Mask Girl, and My man is Cupid.
