Once again we hear celebrities are taking legal actions on netizens online.
On 2nd February, actress Shin Se Kyung (26) has announced she will take action on netizens through her agency. There was false information, bad comments and defamation on the actress who is currently starring in the SBS drama Six Flying Dragons. Her agency stood up saying it was time to eradicate such bad practices online.
Following on this, actor Park Shi Hoo has just returned to small screen after 3 years in hiatus in the latest OCN's drama Neighborhood Hero. However his come back was not in positive light as he took on to sue 76 netizens with malicious comments online.
The attorney from the law firm confirmed that they received a numerous abusive complaints - vulgar expressions and horrible articles written on Park Shi Hoo. Since last month Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office found out about 76 people were involved in this act. These people continued to comment abusively ever since Park appeared in the main role in OCN's drama. Because the rumors and comments spread quickly through the Net, they have to prevent it from recurring through legal action.
As for celebrities taking legal action on internet comments- the cases have increased tremendously. The celebrities decided to take legal action rather than enduring in silence.
Among other celebrities who have taken legal internet actions were actor Lee Jung Jae, JYJ's Kim Jun Su, AOA's Seol Hyun, singer Kang Min Kyung...etc.
