BTS' V and Jungkook Defamation case update: Unable to reach a settlement with YouTuber
V
and
Jungkook
have been at the centre of a defamation case with the infamous YouTuber Sojang. Known to target celebrities and online personalities and share defamatory content, the operator of the channel and the BTS members were unable to settle in a recent case hearing.
BTS V and Jungkook fail to settle defamation case
The BTS members earlier this year had filed a defamation case against the owner of the online channel Sojang. As per Allkpop reports, the 1st Mediation Division of the Seoul Western District Court held a special hearing on July 21, in the form of a mediation session. The aim was to ensure that both parties could appeal their case concerning the defamation lawsuit that was filed in March 2023.
However, the BTS members were unable to settle with the alleged perpetrators.
This ensures that a regular trial will now be carried on in order to determine whether the actions of the YourTuber are punishable or not.
About the case
In March 2023, BTS's company officially filed a damages claim against the channel, seeking 90 million KRW in total for the distress that was caused to the members by their videos. In February, the court reached an order which ruled that the YouTuber pay 51 million KRW to the management agency, 10 million KRW to V, and 15 million KRW to Jungkook.

Sean Diddy Combs' legal team seeks his release before October sentencing; offers $50 million bond for bail
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyers have asked the court to release him from jail before his sentencing in October. Early this month, he was found not guilty of charges like sex trafficking but was convicted on two lesser charges. His legal team has cited that it's unfair to keep him in jail and that his case is very 'unusual'. According to the reports of The Hollywood Reporter, Combs' legal team has filed a request asking the court to release him from the Brooklyn jail where he has been held since September. They argue that he shouldn't remain in custody, especially after he was cleared of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. However, the jury found him guilty of charges related to the Mann Act, a law that makes it illegal to transport someone across state lines for prostitution. Prosecutors said he used his power and staff to pressure two girlfriends into participating in drug-filled sex parties with male escorts, which he watched and recorded. However, the jury did not believe he broke the major laws like RICO or committed sex trafficking. His lawyers say this case is 'unusual' and claim it's 'unfair' for him to stay in jail when many others in similar situations are not detained. They also say that the Mann Act is usually used in cases where someone profits from prostitution, not in situations like this one, where it involved adults in consensual acts with no commercial gain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cargo Ship Meets Pirates - Watch What the Captain Does Next! Tips and Tricks His lawyers believe that the Justice Department usually avoids prosecution in such 'non-commercial' cases. The judge, Arun Subramanian, had previously denied Combs' request for release after the trial, partly due to video footage showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway footage that was shown repeatedly during the trial. However, Combs' lawyers now say he has taken responsibility and had already joined a domestic violence program before his arrest. Legal team offers $50 million bond The legal team has reportedly offered a $50 million bond to secure his release. They said Combs would stay at his home in Miami, follow all legal conditions, give up his passport, and only travel for legal matters under supervision. Combs could face up to 20 years in prison, but prosecutors are expected to ask for a sentence between 51 to 63 months. His defence team, however, is suggesting a lighter sentence of 21 to 27 months.
