A college classmate who reported the false fact that YouTuber Tzuyang (real name Park Jung-won) was throwing up after eating food was put on trial.

According to Newsis on the 20th, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office briefly indicted Oh on charges of defamation under the Information and Communication Network Act on the 2nd of last month.

Oh's identity was none other than Tzuyang's university classmate. He is accused of reporting false information to YouTuber 'Jujak Gambyulsa (real name Kukjejin)' in November 2020.

At the time, Oh delivered, "I witnessed traces of Tzu Yang throwing up on the day he came back from a giant pasta eating show," and the report method and contents were released on YouTube in July 2024.

Upon hearing the incident, Tzuyang's agency filed a complaint against Oh with the Hyehwa Police Station in Seoul. The prosecution decided that Oh's charges were admitted by conducting a supplementary investigation after receiving the case from the police in December 2024.

Summary prosecution is a procedure in which the prosecution asks the court to impose fines and other fines only through a written hearing without a trial procedure. Considering the seriousness of the matter, the prosecution concluded that the fine of 7 million won was reasonable for Oh.

Meanwhile, the YouTuber's lead author, who was involved in the incident, was tried on charges of extorting tens of millions of won by threatening to reveal Tzuyang's private life. He was found guilty of racketeering and other charges, and has been sentenced to one year in prison and three years of probation.
