It's been reported that the 51st Civil Division of the Seoul Western District Court has referred a defamation lawsuit between former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and former ADOR employee 'A' to mediation. This means that the court recommends resolving the case through a mediated settlement rather than proceeding with a trial. 

Previously in August of this year, former ADOR employee 'A' sued Min Hee Jin for defamation, demanding 100 million KRW (~ $70,000 USD) in damages. 'A', who reported a case of sexual harassment in the workplace while employed at ADOR, claimed that Min Hee Jin attempted to cover up the case. Later, in a series of press statements, Min Hee Jin revealed details of the case which 'A' claimed violated the Personal Information Protection Act. Along with a lawsuit against Min Hee Jin for defamation and false claims, 'A' also reported former ADOR vice president 'B', the accused assailant of the sexual harassment case, to the Seoul Western District Office of Employment and Labor for unfair management and labor practices. 

In September, the district court approved of 'A's request to have Min Hee Jin's property listed as a provisional attachment to the defamation lawsuit, meaning that if 'A' wins the lawsuit and Min Hee Jin fails to pay the damages, the court has the right to seize Min Hee Jin's provisional attachment as a liability.
