A ruling that Cyber Leaker YouTuber Beekga must pay 10 million won in damages to BJ Overjuice Seoyon was upheld on appeal.

According to News1 on the 10th, the 10-2 Civil Appeal Division (Presiding Judge Jeong Do-seong, Judges Jeok Chang and Kim Hye-jin) of the Seoul Central District Court rejected all appeals filed by both parties in the damages lawsuit that Overjuice Seoyeon had brought against Beekga. The 10 million won liability for damages recognized by the first-instance court was thus affirmed on appeal as well.

The lawsuit stemmed from Beekga’s video coverage of privacy-related allegations surrounding Overjuice Seoyeon. In September 2024, Beekga raised claims that Overjuice Seoyeon had engaged in sexual relations for money and suspicions regarding gambling in Las Vegas. In response, Overjuice Seoyeon asserted damages from defamation and initiated legal action.

During the litigation, procedures were also carried out to verify Beekga’s identity. Overjuice Seoyeon’s side utilized the discovery process, an evidence disclosure system under U.S. law, obtaining approval from a local court to secure Beekga’s personal information. Subsequently, it is reported that Beekga sent an email to Overjuice Seoyeon’s legal representative stating that the information obtained through the lawsuit should not be disclosed externally.

Beekga also submitted a motion to the court requesting a suspension of the litigation proceedings, but this too was not accepted. The Civil Procedure Act permits the suspension of litigation proceedings only when specific grounds prescribed by law, such as death, bankruptcy, or illness, have arisen.
