On June 20, Nana attended the 2026 Korean Streaming International Festival Global OTT Awards, held at the Busan Cinema Center Outdoor Theater. The actress took home the Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in the drama Climax.
Nana emerged victorious over a competitive field of nominees, including Lee E-dam from The Art of Sarah, Cai Wenjing from The Devil Between Us, and Mori Nana from Hirayasumi, further proving her strong presence as an actress.
Taking the stage to accept the award, Nana expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you for giving me such a meaningful award on a beautiful day in such a wonderful place. I will continue acting and strive to become an actress who can positively influence viewers through sincere and authentic performances.”
While her speech began on a heartfelt note, Nana surprised the audience with a playful remark as she wrapped up her acceptance speech.
“Please stay healthy,” she said. “Watch out for thieves, and be happy.”
The unexpected comment immediately drew cheers and laughter from those in attendance.
Her joke was a clear reference to the shocking incident that occurred in November last year when an intruder broke into her home in Guri, Gyeonggi Province.
According to reports, the suspect entered Nana’s residence carrying a weapon, threatened both the actress and her mother, and demanded money and valuables. The individual was later arrested and brought to trial on charges related to unlawful entry, intimidation, and attempted extortion.
During sentencing, prosecutors requested a 10-year prison term. However, the court ultimately handed down a seven-year sentence. Both the prosecution and the defendant later filed appeals, meaning the legal battle remains ongoing.
Following the ruling, Nana publicly expressed her frustration through social media. Sharing news articles related to the case, she posted messages including, “There is no remorse, and there is no forgiveness,” as well as “A waste of time” and “All I can do is laugh,” revealing her disappointment with the outcome.
