On the 3rd, the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Chamber 16 (Chief Judge Lee Kyung-sun) sentenced A in his 30s to a fine of 3 million won on charges of insult.
According to the prosecution, A was put on trial on April 10, 2022, for posting four comments disparaging IU's costume, singing skills, and remarks.
The Tribunal said "The comments made by the accused amount to offensive and derogatory personal attacks""Considering the fact that the defendant had a criminal record of being fined for defamation." he said.
Earlier, Mr. A refuted that "I meant a simple symbol", and "He suffers from mental illness, so his sentence skills lag behind." We hope for relief."
Mr. A's lawyer also denied the allegations, saying, `Opinion based on factual evidence,' `There are expressions that are unpleasant or insulting, but there is no crime of insult.'
IU's agency EDAM Entertainment (EDAM) filed a complaint on the 11th, selecting serious cases that meet criminal requirements among "threatening, insulting, spreading malicious false information and raising suspicions of plagiarism," defamation, death threats and invasion of privacy, sexual harassment, distribution of pornography, the production and dissemination of illegal composites (photo and video content using AI), and other illegal information distribution activities (illegal acts)." he said.
