On the 15th, Judge Kim Sa-byul of the Incheon District Court held a sentencing hearing for the Taldeok concentration camp accused of defamation and insults under the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection.
The court ordered Taldeok concentration camp to serve two years in prison, three years for execution oil, a fine of 210 million won and 120 hours of community service.
The court needs to strictly punish the victim for the crime of defamation in that it causes damage that is difficult to recover. The defendant repeatedly slandered famous celebrities or posted provocative content on YouTube channels, which made considerable profits."
However, it was considered that the defendant admitted and reflected on the fault and deposited KRW 20 million to Jang Won-young, as well as a total of KRW 60 million to the victims," he said, explaining the reason for his sentencing.
The Taldeok concentration camp is accused of defaming celebrities by uploading videos on its channel 23 times from October 2021 to June 2023.
In particular, Jang Won-young has been spreading false rumors, including rumors of a romantic relationship with Big Bang G-Dragon and rumors of bullying.
Through this, it was found that the Taldeok concentration camp earned 250 million won for two years from June 2021.
The Taldeok concentration camp was sued by Jang Won-young and his agency Starship Entertainment for civil and criminal charges. In January last year, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by Jang Won-young against the Taldeok concentration camp. However, the Taldeok concentration camp appealed, saying 100 million won was too much.
In addition, singers Kang Daniel, BTS V Jungkook, EXO Suho, and Aespa sued the Taldeok concentration camp.
