SM Entertainment has won a civil lawsuit against the person behind Sojang.

On the 22nd, the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of SM in the damage claim lawsuit they filed against Sojang, ordering the defendant to pay a total of 170 million KRW in damages.

This amount includes compensation for both the agency and its artists (Aespa, EXO, and Red Velvet). Specifically, the 130 million KRW is to be paid to the artists and 30 million KRW to the agency.

The court recognized Sojang's liability for damages, stating that videos posted on the channel negatively affected public perception of Aespa, EXO, and Red Velvet.

The court also recognized damages to the agency, ruling that 'the image and public reputation of artists are core assests of the company,' and that the contents posted on the channels caused 'substantial disruption to business operations.'

Sojang had previously lost damage lawsuits filed by IVE's Jang Wonyoung, BTS' V, and Jungkook. In those cases, the court also ordered the defendant to pay tens of millions KRW in damages.

The criminal case has also been finalized. In January, the Supereme Court upheld the original verdict against Sojang for charges including defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act. The court ordered a sentence of 2 years in prison, suspended for 3 years, along with a forfeiture of 211.42 million KRW.

Sojang is an infamous 'cyber wrecker' channel that spread rumors about celebrities from October 2021 to June 2023.
