A defendant who spread false information about actor Park Si-hoo on social media was sentenced to 10 months in prison.

According to a YTN report on the 29th, the Seoul Eastern District Court on the 22nd sentenced the defendant, who was indicted on charges including violation of the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation) and violation of the Personal Information Protection Act, to 10 months in prison.

The defendant was charged with stealing an ex-husband's mobile phone and passport in August 2025 and then posting on social media content suggesting that Park Si-hoo had introduced a woman to the ex-husband, thereby being involved in the breakdown of his family.

Park Si-hoo's side maintains that there is no fact that he introduced a woman to the ex-husband and that the content of the post is clearly false. The court found the defendant guilty of defamation by stating false facts using information and communications networks in this regard.

The defendant appealed against the 10th-month prison sentence. Park Si-hoo's side is also proceeding with a civil lawsuit for damages, separate from the criminal proceedings.
