IVE’s has won her ₩100 million lawsuit against YouTuber Sojang for defamation.
In a significant legal victory, IVE’s Jang Wonyoung and her agency, Starship Entertainment, have emerged triumphant in a lawsuit against YouTuber Sojang, securing a ruling in their favor last month from the 210th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court.
According to Law Times, the Seoul Central District Court had ruled in favour of the singer on December 21, and ordered ₩100million (around £59,000) to be paid to Jang for damages.
The agency also shared that it is constantly using its own monitoring system to protect the rights of its artists, their reputations and privacy. It also urged fans to continue reporting such issues to them, as they have been “of great assistance” to its legal proceedings.
This ruling encompasses not only the interest but also mandates the payment of court costs incurred throughout the lawsuit.
The legal battle initiated when Jang Wonyoung filed a lawsuit for damages in October of the previous year.
“Through the continuous circulation of false information, Sojang committed grave defamation, and they not only hindered with the agency’s business but also caused serious pain to artists and fans,” the agency said, as translated by Soompi. Starship also shared that the criminal charges filed against Sojang were recently forwarded from the police to the prosecution, and that legal proceedings concerning that matter were ongoing.
