The first hearing in a false-report case against a man who broke into the home of singer and actor Nana opened Tuesday.

Seoul Central District Court held the first trial session Tuesday morning for a man in his 30s, identified only as A, who was indicted on charges including filing a false report and theft. Only attorneys were present at the hearing.

A had previously been indicted on charges of armed robbery and assault after breaking into Nana's home with a weapon and threatening and injuring Nana and her mother. A was sentenced to seven years in prison in both the first and second trials.

During the investigation and trial, A claimed to have also been attacked and injured, and filed a complaint against Nana on charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault. Police, however, ruled that Nana and her mother had acted in self-defense and declined to refer the case to prosecutors.

Nana subsequently filed a counter-complaint against A for making a false report, and prosecutors indicted A based on mobile phone forensic evidence, among other findings.

The hearing will also cover a separate theft charge against A for allegedly stealing expensive wine from a hypermarket, consolidated with the false-report case.
