Hey, that is ARA.
We want to replace you on the authorized proceedings regarding our artist.
In July 2022, Kang Daniel and the regulation agency Ryu filed a prison criticism towards “Sojang” for spreading baseless false data and malicious rumors that severely defamed our artist. At present (September 11), we received the primary trial.
Though this consequence was anticipated, the 2 years main as much as the primary trial’s verdict have been an indescribable ordeal for each the artist and his followers.
Initially, we filed a criticism with the Seocho Police Station, however the investigation was halted because the id of the perpetrator was not confirmed. After the id was established, we requested the investigation to be resumed in July 2023. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Workplace then filed a abstract indictment with a high quality of three million received (roughly $2,239). Nonetheless, we strongly requested a proper trial, bringing “Sojang” to courtroom and finally revealing her id. The courtroom took this matter very significantly, sentencing a high quality of 10 million received (roughly $7,464), which is greater than thrice the prosecution’s advice.
No matter whether or not the shameless defendant appeals, we’ll file a civil lawsuit for 100 million received, separate from the prison proceedings. That is the minimal protection to stop additional harmless victims and to make sure such incidents don’t recur. We consider that malicious defamation and profit-making by way of such actions ought to be met with sturdy civil and prison accountability as they go away lasting wounds that aren’t simply healed even in spite of everything judicial procedures are accomplished.
We’ll proceed to do our utmost to guard the rights of our artist and followers. We plan to take all potential authorized actions with out settlement in related instances.
Thanks.
