Man denies falsely accusing actress Nana, admits most wine shop theft
A man convicted of attacking actress Nana denied falsely accusing her at a Seoul court hearing on a separate case.
He had accused Nana of attempted murder and causing serious injury after she and her mother were attacked at Nana’s home in Guri, South Korea.
Police found Nana had acted in self-defence and did not refer her for prosecution, while prosecutors charged the man with making a false accusation.
He denies that his complaint was false, but admitted most of a charge that he stole goods worth more than 20 million won from a wine shop.
A court has sentenced him to seven years in prison for the attack, and that case is awaiting a Supreme Court decision after his appeal.
Theft-related witness questioning is set for March 16 next year in the case that includes the false-accusation and theft charges.
A man accused of falsely accusing actress Nana denied the charge at his first court hearing on the case.

The false-accusation and theft charges are being heard together at the Seoul Central District Court.
He is also serving a seven-year prison sentence for a separate attack on Nana and her mother, though he has appealed to the Supreme Court.
