Ko So-young Gets Her Feelings Hurt Online
May 23rd, 2007 by dd
Actress Ko So-young has sued 35 netizens for libel through the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, accusing them of spreading false rumors about her private life through Internet message boards, cafes, and blogs.
“Some netizens have spread lies in cyberspace for several years, saying that I’m personally close to a particular person who I have never met,” Ko said through her lawyers.
“As an unmarried woman and a public entertainer, I felt shock and shame, but I refrained from direct response and instead asked the portal sites to delete the comments, hoping that the rumors would naturally be revealed to be false,” Ko said.
“But every time I was the subject of discussion, these lies were deliberately repeated and spread off-line. I have no choice but to sue the writers,” she continued.
