• Already received two summary prosecution penalties of 2 million won each... "Continuously spread via live broadcast"

DJ DOC Lee Ha-neul (real name Lee Geun-bae), who has been in conflict with rapper Jubitrain, will ultimately face court on charges of defamation.

The Criminal Division 6 of the Goyang District Court of the Uijeongbu District Court is scheduled to hold the first trial session on June 12 for Lee Ha-neul's alleged violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation).

Earlier, according to Jubitrain's agency Basecamp Studio, Lee Ha-neul received a summary prosecution penalty (summary indictment) from the Goyang District Prosecutors' Office in February, just one month after a 2 million won fine for insult was finalized in January.

This penalty was imposed after it was determined that Lee Ha-neul continuously spread false information from 2024 claiming that singer Jubitrain and the agency Lee Mo (CEO) were drug offenders, sex criminals, fraudsters, and embezzlers. The Prosecutors' Office requested a 2 million won fine. A summary prosecution penalty is a procedure where the prosecutor requests a fine through written review without a formal trial. If the suspect does not object to this, the sentence becomes final and is registered as a criminal record.

Jubitrain's agency previously stated, "Lee Ha-neul has publicly alleged 'habitual drug use,' 'sexual assault,' 'fraud and embezzlement,' etc., against fellow musician Jubitrain and the agency Lee Mo (CEO) for nearly two years, both to industry insiders and through personal live broadcasts, in an attempt to conceal his own financial misconduct. However, after undergoing rulings by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Employment and Labor, the Seoul Metropolitan Labor Committee, and the Central Labor Committee, all of Lee Mo (CEO)'s claims were fully recognized, and the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office also issued a final decision of no grounds for prosecution. Lee Ha-neul continued to spread false information to incite the public while concealing these facts. As a result, investigations into charges including violation of the Information and Communications Network Act (spreading false information), defamation, insult, and false accusation have been steadily emerging since January."

The agency also stated, "Lee Ha-neul was additionally booked at the Songpa Police Station on the same charges. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that circumstances were detected suggesting that Lee Ha-neul conspired with officials from the agency Funkytown, including the representative and managing director, to continue the crime, and the case has been transferred to the Prosecutors' Office."

In response, an agency representative told StarNews, "There are at least five more cases related to Lee Ha-neul remaining."
