Korean celebrities are taking a stand against the vicious rumors that are circulating via messages left anonymously on the internet. First, IU caught the perpetrator spreading rumors about her impending marriage with a male idol star and the two parties settled to drop the charge if the perpetrator did 200 hours of community service. Currently, Baek Ji Young is in the midst of suing the netizens who left appalling messages on the internet, claiming her miscarriage was all her fault.
On October 9th, SBS broadcast a new episode of 'One Night of TV Entertainment' in which they dug up more information about this lawsuit.
It turned out that after the first round of the lawsuit, the vicious comments about her miscarriage did not subside, resulting in a second round. Still after, another perpetrator caused public indignation when he uploaded a confirmation picture of his summons.
Baek Ji Young recently made an appearance on 'Healing Camp' where she revealed, "There was one comment that said Baek Ji Young's new song came out. The title is 'The Great Miscarriage,' featuring [my husband] Jung Suk Won. I couldn't really comprehend it. It made me want to see the face of whoever wrote it."
Baek Ji Young's agency said, "Comments saying she killed the baby purposely and pictures that made it look like Ji Young was killing a baby were so traumatic that we decided to file a lawsuit."
A rep from the cyber crimes unit said, "We filed suits against eleven people. They were all men in their late teens to mid twenties. They ranged from students to employees."
Baek Ji Young's side revealed that they plan on a strong confrontation with absolutely no leniency.
