IVE's Jang Won Young's lawsuit over ”Escape from Otaku Detention Center” and 100 million won damages continues... Appeal hearing today (4th)

IVE's Jang Won Young has been engaged in a long legal battle against the cyber-wrecker YouTube group "Escape from Otaku Camp."
Today (4th), "IVE" Jang Won Young and her management office STARSHIP Entertainment
The first hearing will be held in the appeal hearing for damages filed by To against Mr. A, the operator of the YouTube channel "Escape from Otaku Camp."
Jang Won Young's side has been filing civil and criminal lawsuits and overseas lawsuits against Mr. A since November 2022.
A runs a YouTube channel called "Escape from Otaku Camp" and posts videos criticizing celebrities, causing harm, and in one of the videos, he wrote, "Jang Won Young is jealous and has assaulted fellow trainees.
"The debut of Jang Won Young has been ruined," and many other false videos have been produced and circulated about Jang Won Young. As a result, Jang Won Young's side has been defamatory and has been accused of continuous falsehoods.
The company filed a lawsuit against Mr. A for damages of 100 million won (approximately 10 million yen). Last year, the company accepted Mr. A's case from a US court and entered into a full-scale legal battle.
Jang Won Young's side received a partial judgment in the trial held in 2013. At that time, the court told Mr. A that he must pay not only interest on the 100 million yen but also the costs of the lawsuit separately.
Mr. A then filed an appeal against the result and avoided punishment by depositing 100 million won to stop the court from enforcing the decision.
In an appeal hearing last March, the court ruled in favor of an adjustment in a lawsuit seeking 100 million won in damages.
However, Jang Won Young's side blocked the possibility of an agreement and stated their position that there was "no leniency," leading to a breakdown in negotiations.
The first hearing of the appeal hearing will be held today. Attention is focused on what position Mr. A's side will take.
A is currently on trial for defamation and insult under the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, in addition to the above lawsuit.
Regarding the production of a video criticizing Wonyoung, the company said, "We admit the fact of the production, but deny the other facts in the appeal," and claimed, "There was no intention related to defamation or obstruction of business."
