Author of malicious post about Ji Sung sentenced to a 5 million won fine in first trial

The individual who wrote malicious posts targeting Jisung was sentenced to a fine of 5 million won in the first trial. On the 19th, SM Entertainment announced the trial results via official social media regarding a case in which they sued the author who posted numerous articles and videos on X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube that slandered or insulted the artist. This ruling is significant in that it demonstrates that legal action against recurring malicious posts online is continuing. We hope that indiscriminate slander against artists will decrease and that Jisung will be able to continue his activities in a safer environment.
