According to the New York Times, NewJeans filed a lawsuit in federal court in California on the 10th (local time) against the company for distributing false information.
The company has asked Google to disclose the identity of the YouTube account that defamed it.
The company demanded disclosure of information, alleging that the perpetrator had uploaded dozens of malicious videos against the company and defamed it.
It was difficult to proceed with the lawsuit due to difficulties. However, Jang Won Young and management office STARSHIP were able to obtain a lawsuit against malicious YouTubers from Google through the US courts.
The Seoul Central District Court set a precedent by taking unprecedented and strong action against Mr. A in a lawsuit against him for 100 million won in damages in January of this year.
The court accepted Jang Won Young's lawsuit. NewJeans is expected to go through a similar process and pursue a lawsuit for defamation and insult after identifying the YouTuber.
According to LINE, as of the 12th, the YouTuber pointed out by "NewJeans" has deleted his account. Currently, the YouTuber is being suspended for violating YouTube's community guidelines.
It was announced that the channel had been deleted. In particular, the YouTuber in question continued to post comments until the end, such as "OOO apology for being sued by 'NewJeans'" and "I did it for fun, but it's come to this."
It was revealed that he had made a joke video, and there are continuing calls for him to be severely punished. Previously, another YouTuber who had caused trouble for many idols, including Jang Won Young, was also facing legal proceedings.
At the time, the YouTuber said to Starship, "I heard that you mentioned me. The video I made was about a girl group.
"It was made with the intention of 'noise marketing' and had no intention of being abusive or insulting," he said, making the absurd rebuttal that it was for the artists.
They made a simple video to harass people, and then responded with denials, such as "It was for the public interest and the right to know," "I was just doing some noise marketing," and "I had no intention of insulting anyone."
They showed an unselfish attitude. Cyber terrorists who violate the rights of others to gain malicious views must be severely punished and held accountable.
There are continuing voices saying that this is not the case.
