Problem Statement

The incircle Ω \Omega of the acute-angled triangle ABC ABC is tangent to its side BC BC at a point K K. Let AD AD be an altitude of triangle ABC ABC, and let M M be the midpoint of the segment AD AD. If N N is the common point of the circle Ω \Omega and the line KM KM (distinct from K K), then prove that the incircle Ω \Omega and the circumcircle of triangle BCN BCN are tangent to each other at the point N N.
