[Trans] 120802 JYJ Files 100 Million KRW Damage Suit Against Media For “Abusing Sasaeng Fans” Report
JYJ has filed a 100 million KRW damage suit against the media who earlier reported about dispute with sasaeng fans.
According to revelations in law industry, JYJ has filed a 100 million KRW damage suit on the 1st of August in Seoul Central District Court against internet media ‘D’ for reports on abusing sasaeng fans.
JYJ’s representative states that, “Without any confirmation with the party involved and to reveal illegal audio files, it is a form of defamation and invasion of privacy. We ever mentioned to media in March about filing a criminal suit against the said media but after discussion, we decided that a civil lawsuit would be more suitable to this issue. Therefore we retrieved the previous lawsuit and once again filed a civil lawsuit.”
‘D’ media reported in March claiming that JYJ members abused sasaeng fans physically and verbally and revealed a related audio file. JYJ’s representative C-JeS entertainment stated officially its strong stance against this issue and expressed that, ‘This report is a malicious report for attacking JYJ members.’

Sigh…Once the ball gets rolling there is no end to it. Regardless of whether this was true or not, I believe the media has been handed a “carte blanche” [full discretionary power] ticket on reporting anything they choose to advance sales or ratings. Maybe the media will start to think twice before doing this one injustice again. <333
