A repeat offender who has on multiple occasions shared slanderous and defamatory content against popular singer-actress IU has been caught. The repeat offender, a woman in her 40s, has been ruled guilty of her charges of defaming IU and sharing false information about her. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Repeat offender trying to defame IU held accountable for her actions During a court ruling, a woman was found guilty of her charges of defamation and slander against idol IU. According to reports from ChosunBiz, the woman was fined for commenting malicious and defamatory content under an article about IU and her agency. Allegedly, the offender posted a comment that read 'Did you bribe the judge?' as well as sexually offensive comments. The Seoul Central District Court fined the offender a total of 3 million KRW and found her guilty of the 'crime of slander'. While the offender's side defended the case by stating that none of the comments posted by her did actually amount to harming IU or reducing her social evaluation. Other than that, they also argued that there was no proof present as to who had posted the comments and who they were targeted towards, citing them as 'vague'. The court still did not accept these arguments and found the offender guilty of her charges. Court issues explanation During the proceeding, the court issued an explanation for the ruling, stating that 'She denies the crime, shows no remorse, has not received forgiveness from the victim, and has a record of two prior criminal punishments for similar offences. This crime occurred before the indictment for the defamation case for which she was fined last December, and considering that there is no criminal punishment exceeding a fine, we took these factors into account. ' The offender had previously been charged for a similar crime against IU back in 2022. At the time she had also faced the same punishment as now. At the time, the woman had been charged with posting derogatory comments targeted at IU as well as her singing and fashion sense.
