The investigator said this was the first complaint they received with this charge, but they accepted it after reviewing the documents and hearing the lawyer's explanation."

-Well done.

-They've been consistently handling hate comments, but haters keep appearing.

-Whoa... How malicious must they be to get 3 years in prison?

-They've been consistently posting the results too. What's up with those who claim that SM Ent. doesn't give updates on their lawsuit results? They just never bothered to read.

-The best fan service = Lawsuits.

-Those who claim SM Ent. doesn't sue just don't bother to check. SM Ent. has been constantly suing and posting the results. That's why fans keep sending reports to Kwangya 119.

-There are a lot of deepfakes involving female idols these days. I hope they catch all of those people.

-It's chilling that despite continuous lawsuits, the number of malicious commenters doesn't seem to decrease.

-Whoa... They actually announced the results. All the people who said SM Ent. is only 'all talk' about their lawsuits must be trembling right nowㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I hope all the people who sent funeral wreaths to Seunghan get sued too.

-Seriously though, what kind of comments do you have to write to receive 3 years imprisonment??
