The couple married in December 2020. The following November, they had a daughter. Ms. A is one year older than Na Gyun-an, and they married after dating for three years.

Ms. A claimed, "Na Gyun-an lived off allowance from his parents during the off-season, and after the affair, he received allowance from the mistress," adding, "He committed the affair with the black box turned off in the car bought by his father-in-law." She also alleged that as soon as Na Gyun-an won the Asian Games gold medal, he blocked her and video-called the mistress. When Ms. A confronted him, Na Gyun-an reportedly demanded a divorce. It is also claimed that domestic violence occurred during this process, causing Ms. A to faint and the police to be dispatched. Currently, both Na Gyun-an and Ms. A's personal channels have been set to private.

As the controversy grows, compiling reports from multiple media outlets, the Lotte Giants stated, "We interviewed Na Gyun-an, and the assault is absolutely not true," and explained, "The woman in question is someone he met while accompanying a friend, and they are not in an extramarital relationship."
