A malicious commenter who posted malicious comments about 2PM member-actor Lee Jun Ho was fined 3 million won.
Previously, JYP Entertainment filed a complaint against the malicious commenter who kept posting indiscriminate malicious comments about their artist Lee Jun Ho. The Seoul Western District Court recently fined the perpetrator 3 million won for violating the Information Network Act and the Information Protection Act due to continuously spreading false information about Lee Jun Ho and writing posts that seriously undermined the artist’s personality.
The court recognized the accused’s defamation charges, “The accused was discontented with the victim (Lee Jun Ho) and posted untrue content on online communities several times. Hereby, the accused defamed the victim by publicly stating false facts through the information network for the purpose of slandering the victim.”
JYP Entertainment, which announced the result of the legal action against the malicious commenter targeting Lee Jun Ho, said, “We are taking stronger measures by strengthening the monitoring route and selecting additional law firms. In the future, we will continue to take strong measures without leniency, not looking on the spread of groundless false information and malicious posts about our artists idly. We would like to thank the fans who always support and love our artists. As an agency, we promise to prioritize the protection of artists’ rights and interests, and to respond strongly to acts that hinder this.”
