Actress Song Hye Gyo has sued 41 netizens for defamation of character.
Her legal team submitted the lawsuit at the Seoul Central District Court against the 41 netizens who were involved in spreading of the rumor that the actress had a 'sponsor-relationship' with a politician (aka a sexual relationship in exchange for money) from September 2008 to December 2011. The Kangnam Police Station, who has been assigned the case, will be starting their investigation shortly.
Her legal representatives stated, "Although Song Hye Gyo had known that false rumors were being spread, she had hoped for the netizens to stop on their own. However, the level of defamation had reached a point which could no longer be tolerated, and thus, she has decided to take legal action."
In related news, the actress will be leaving for China to being filming for her new movie.
