Former ADOR CEO and currently CEO of OOAK Records Min Heejin has partially won a damages lawsuit filed against malicious commenters.

On the 20th, JoongAng Ilbo reported, "The Seoul Western District Court ruled in two damages lawsuits filed by Min Heejin in February against 11 commenters, 4 of them must each pay 300,000 KRW, while claims against the remaining 7 were dismissed."

Previously, Min Heejin filled a lawsuit seeking damages of 3 million to 4 million KRW per person regarding malicious comments posted between April and May 2024. The comments reportedly included harsh insults such as 'trash' and 'thug.' Among them, statements like, "I knew she had a foul mouth, but I didn't realize her character was such trash," were also recognized as grounds for damages.

The court stated, "Even if the matter is a subject of public interest, expressions that go beyond the scope of opinion and become insulting are not permitted," and recognized the liability for some comments. In particular, the court judged certain comments to be 'expressions intended to degrade, mock, or scorn.

However, the court did not recognize the illegality of some expressions such as 'Wicked b*tch' or 'I don't think she's normal.' The court viewed these as expressions that emphasize personal opinions about the plaintiff's actions and attitude, and therefore did not constitute unlawful acts.

Meanwhile, the hearing date for the damages lawsuit filed by HYBE labels, BELIFT Lab and Source Music, against Min Heejin is scheduled for the 15th of next month.
