South Korean actress and former After School member Im Jin-Ah aka Nana shared a heartfelt Instagram note soon after news came in that she is being countersued by a man who intruded into her home last year.

In her emotional message, she said she received the lawsuit while she was fighting a mentally difficult time. According to her, she struggled with anxiety as she prepared for a fan event. Nana faced a home intrusion on November 15, 2025, when the suspect allegedly climbed into he 34-year-old's home with a weapon and threatened her and her mother, causing injuries to both before they subdued him and called police.

Nana's emotional note

On on January 2, 2026, Nana posted a lengthy Instagram note where she wrote that she spent time trying to steady herself so she could keep her promise to fans, reclaim stability, and grow stronger through the ordeal. She also reflected on trust, resilience, and the need to protect herself more thoughtfully in the future.

Nana countersued

The countersuit stems from a legal battle with the intruder, a man in his 30s who was arrested allegedly for breaking into Nana’s residence in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, while armed and allegedly demanding money. The incident happened in early morning and the man was arrested on aggravated robbery and injury charges.

About intrusion incident

The police determined that Nana and her mother acted in lawful self-defence when they overpowered and restrained the suspect. The man recently filed a separate complaint accusing Nana of attempted murder and aggravated assault during the struggle. Nazi’s agency, Sublime, condemned the filing as an “inhumane act” that exploits her status as a public figure and said it plans to pursue all civil and criminal legal remedies to protect her rights. The case has ever since drawn widespread attention due to the unusual development of the intruder’s counter-complaint against a well-known celebrity.

“I’ve known for quite some time now that I was being sued. I found out about it during a period when I was already struggling mentally and trying to push through a very difficult time emotionally.As the date of my scheduled meeting with fans (the fan signing event) approached, I spent a lot of time thinking and worrying, trying my best to steady my shaken and weakened heart and mind. I focused as much as I could on the time given to me, doing everything I could to pull myself back together.I didn’t want to break my promise to my fans because of this situation. I wanted to recover quickly, regain a healthy and stable version of myself, and face you properly. Thankfully, after spending some time alone, I was able to find a certain level of stability again, and I felt that I had become a little stronger.Just as I hoped, the fan signing event was able to take place, and that moment made me incredibly grateful and happy. I was able to keep my promise, and when I met my fans, I felt that rather than worrying, you were fully enjoying the moment with genuine happiness. I realized that that day became a special one for everyone.”
