Group IVE’s Jang Wonyoung and her agency Starship Entertainment won the lawsuit against YouTuber Sojang for the damages she created.
On the 21st of last month, the 210th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court (Chief Judge Park Ji-won) ruled in favor of some of the plaintiffs in the 100 million won (74.5K USD) damages lawsuit filed by Jang Wonyoung and Starship Entertainment against Park (Sojang).
The court ordered that 100 million won be paid, calculated at an annual interest rate of 12% until the day it is fully repaid. Park must pay not only the interest but also the court costs incurred during the lawsuit.
Jang Wonyoung filed a lawsuit for damages in October last year. Jang Wonyoung’s lawyer submitted evidence that the videos posted by Park on her YouTube channel were false, saying that all of the content uploaded on Sojang was consistently made up of false facts or insults at the level of insult to her personal character. The lawyer said, “This is clearly an illegal act, and it also constitutes defamation and insult criminally.”

In this civil suit and the criminal case in which she was accused, Park claimed that she “didn’t know it the claims she made were false” and that she had “the right to know about celebrities’ (affairs).” […]
Jang Wonyoung’s claim is that due to the videos (Sojang created), not only Jang Wonyoung but also other celebrities who became victims suffered psychologically and their entertainment activities were also hindered. The lawyer emphasized, “Park seeks to generate profit her videos and editing, so the degree of illegality is much more serious.”
