On the 11th, a final trial was held for Lee, who was indicted on charges of violating the law on the promotion of information and communication network and information protection, at the hearing of the 9th Criminal Chamber of the Seoul Western District Court.
On this day, the prosecution is not lightly guilty of defaming a celebrity by speaking false information about him in a group chat room and is not even reflecting on himself. No action has been taken to recover the victim's damage, and the victim also wants severe punishment"He asked for 10 months in prison.
Lee was branded as embezzling 11.6 billion won in a single comment after being married for 20 years with his children and parents-in-law. The daughter is traumatized and receiving psychiatric and psychological counseling treatment as criticism against the children continues. Nevertheless, the case against us is still ongoing. It's very hard, but I'm trying to endure and overcome it. He appealed for leniency.
Lee's lawyer countered that Lee did not slander Park Soo-hong and did not provide specific evidence on the defamation charges.
Rather, he claimed, `Even though Park Soo-hong was found to have arbitrarily withdrawn and used money from his brother's co-name bank account, and was found not guilty in the first trial related to embezzlement charges, Lee is suffering from being branded as a person who embezzled more than 10 billion won.'
In particular, Lee said, `I would like to ask whether Park Soo-hong's actions are creating public opinion that is different from the facts through his image as a celebrity, and whether such actions are justified.'
Lee is accused of spreading false information such as Park Soo-hong's allegation that Lee and his wife embezzled funds in the Kakao Talk group chat room for the purpose of slandering Park Soo-hong, or that Park Soo-hong lived with a woman when he appeared on SBS 'My Ugly Baby'. In response, Park Soo-hong sued Lee for defamation in October 2023.
In addition, Lee is on trial for embezzling billions of won, including Park Soo-hong's personal funds as well as the company money of one-man agencies Lael and Media Boom, in the name of managing Park for 10 years from 2011 to 2021. However, the couple denies the allegations.
