In a lawsuit filed by Jang Won-young (20), a member of the popular K-pop girl group Ive, for damages against a YouTuber, the court ruled in Jang’s favor.
On the 17th, Judge Park Ji-won of the Seoul Central District Court’s Civil Affairs 210 Division announced that he had recently ruled that YouTube channel operator Mr. Park should pay 100 million won in compensation to Mr. Jang. Mr. Jang and his agency, Starship Entertainment, filed a lawsuit seeking 100 million won in damages, claiming that the YouTube channel operated by Mr. Park had damaged his reputation by continuously spreading false information about him. Mr. Park did not submit any response, and the court declared a no-contest ruling on the 21st of last month. If the defendant who has been sued in a civil trial does not respond to the lawsuit, the court accepts the plaintiff’s claim as is.
Separately from the civil lawsuit, Starship Entertainment has been pursuing other civil and criminal lawsuits since November 2021, alleging that Mr. Park spread false information about its artists, including Mr. Jang. An official from Starship Entertainment said, “The case of filing a criminal complaint against Mr. Park was recently transferred from the police to the prosecution,” and added, “We will continue to take all possible legal measures for defamation of artists without a settlement.”
Mr. Park operated a YouTube channel from 2021 to July of last year and produced rumor video content related to K-pop idols. Currently, the channel has been deleted.
