Popular YouTuber wins lawsuit over bruises all over body after injection at dermatologist in South Korea

Aori (real name: Kim Min Hee-yeon), a popular Korean model and YouTuber, revealed that she had bruises all over her body after a procedure at a dermatology clinic, and received 1.3 billion won in compensation from the clinic.
According to the legal profession on the 16th, the 13th Civil Division of the Seoul High Court issued a ruling on the 11th of last month demanding compensation for damages from a 2015 lawsuit filed against the company in Gangnam, Seoul.
In an appeals court case filed by a dermatologist at a clinic in Tokyo against Aori for damages, the court dismissed the plaintiff's claim, just as it had done in the first instance. The hospital did not appeal or file any other objections, and the ruling became final.
In 2021, Aori posted photos of bruises on social media and YouTube, saying that she had bruises all over her body after receiving an injection.
The aori cited the fact that the hospital director's daughter, rather than the director, helped stop the bleeding during the procedure and the hospital's reluctance to refund the money.
She also raised issues with the way the doctor handled the situation, and the fact that the treatment time was different from what was explained to her before the procedure. In response, the hospital filed a civil lawsuit, claiming that "false facts were spread and the hospital suffered damages." However,
The court ruled that the 11 allegations that the hospital claimed were false statements "cannot be said to have contained false facts." The court stated, "The consent form for treatment did not provide sufficient explanation about the bruises.
"The hospital was advertising the injection as a 'health injection,'" he said, adding, "The promotional statements are not false facts."
"At the time of the procedure, the hospital director's daughter entered the procedure room and assisted with stopping the bleeding.
"It is true that the hospital director's daughter was a counselor, not a medical professional such as a doctor or nurse," he said, adding, "Aori's statement pointing out the inappropriateness of this is not a false fact.
"The post did not state the name of the hospital, personal information of those involved, the hospital's trade name, location, or the name of the procedure," the court said.
The court concluded that the explanation was merely an explanation and was difficult to regard as an explanation for a specific treatment. The criminal complaint for defamation filed by the hospital in this case was also dismissed.
However, Aori's former husband at the time, Seo Ju-won, said to the hospital, "Don't change the subject, you idiot. There are no doctors like you in Korea.
What a surprise," and was awarded 2 million won (approximately 200,000 yen) in damages.
