On February 14 KST, the 12th Civil Division of the Seoul Western District Court ordered YouTube channel owner Park (37), also-known as the cyber wrecker 'Taldeok Camp (Sojang)', to pay a total of 76 million KRW (~ $53,000 USD) for defaming BTS members V and Jungkook.
The court stated on this day, "The defendant must pay Big Hit Music 51 million KRW (~ $35,000 USD), V 10 million KRW (~ $7,000 USD), and Jungkook 15 million KRW (~ $10,000 USD)."
Previously, Big Hit Music filed a defamation lawsuit against Taldeok Camp over several YouTube videos containing malicious content about V and Jungkook. The company also accused the YouTube channel owner of using images and content featuring the BTS members without permission.
Meanwhile, last month, Park was sentenced to 2 years of probation, plus a fine of 200 million KRW (~ $139,000 USD), after the Incheon District Court declared them guilty of defaming IVE member Wonyoung. The court's verdict has since been appealed. Separately, the Seoul Central District Court also ordered Park to pay 50 million KRW (~ $35,000 USD) in damages for defaming the IVE member.
