Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Ader Error and current CEO of OK Record, has won a partial victory in a damages lawsuit filed against cyberbullies.

According to legal sources on the 20th, the Seoul Western District Court's Civil Division 12 ruled in favor of the plaintiff in part in a damages lawsuit filed by Min (CEO) in February against 11 individuals, including Mr. A.

Previously, Min (CEO) filed a lawsuit seeking damages worth 3 million to 4 million won per person from Mr. A and others.

The court ruled that "Mr. A and four others must each pay 300,000 won, totaling 1.2 million won," to Min (CEO). The claims against the remaining seven individuals were dismissed.

Regarding comments such as "trash" and "go to hell," the court noted, "While some matters related to Min (CEO) can be considered partly public, allowing free expression of opinion does not permit derogatory expressions. Some comments appear to have been written with the intent to belittle or mock Min (CEO) or to express contempt, rather than to express opinions."

The court further added, "Since Min (CEO)'s social reputation has been damaged, there is a responsibility to compensate for mental distress."

However, regarding comments such as "thug" and "not a normal person," the court determined that "while somewhat rough expressions were included, they do not constitute illegal acts."
