NewJeans Hanni has reached a settlement with a malicious commenter.
On the 27th, the Seoul Southern District Court’s 14th Criminal Division dismissed the public prosecution against 'A,' who was charged with defamation for leaving malicious comments toward NewJeans' Hanni.
Last October, A wrote an insulting comment on an article about Hanni, saying things like, "What the hell is she even saying? Is she f***ing crazy? Does crying help? Huh?"
The article in question was about Hanni appearing as a witness at the parliamentary audit for the National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee, where she shed tears while discussing unfair treatment she experienced at her agency.
Following this, the prosecution sent A to a formal trial rather than a summary indictment. However, it was reported that A reached a settlement with Hanni's side before the verdict was announced.
[+82][-26] You shouldn’t go easy on people like that… It's a habit, they’ll 100% do it again.
[+81][-54] Wow, I thought it was some kind of sexual comment or something really over the line. I didn’t know you could get sued for saying something like that;;
[+63][-41] A lawsuit over just that? Must be nice to have money.
[+54][-15] She is truly the most beautiful person ever. Totally my type.
[+43][-15] Those who say "You can get sued for something like that?" probably don't realize that what they're doing might be malicious.
[+35][-24] Don't bully our Pham Hanni~~
[+34][-31] Hanni... I miss NewJeans' performances.
[+31][-30] They're just doing media play.
[+27][-25] Suing for something that minor?
