His agency rep told Star News on the 26th, "The criminal charges against the representative perpetrators have already been processed and we are preparing for an additional civil suit... We've finished collecting information on approximately 30 people and only need to submit the documents.

"As he's a public figure, there were times when we endured the perpetrators that were continuously spreading malicious rumors and slander concerning Park Hae Jin... But it was far from subsiding and actually became worse so we decided to take legal action... The situation came to the point that we were unable to take it any longer considering his family's severe stress... Following the first round of charges, we are reviewing additional charges."

According to the Busan District Prosecutors' Office, perpetrator A was fined 1,500,000 KRW (~1,400 USD) for defamation of character against Park Hae Jin.
