Judge Lee Ho Dong emphasized that despite no actual intent to carry out the threats, the nature of the messages constituted a serious offense. Prosecutor previously requested 2 years detention of convict Kim was proven guilty of the charges levied against her in the previous ruling of the defamation case. Following that, the prosecutor demanded a 2-year prison sentence for the accused. The court heard both sides and shifted the verdict to another day. On June 2, the final ruling of a 8-month sentence was made. The court's leniency in the sentencing was influenced by the fact that Kim did not appear to have any actual intention of inflicting physical harm on Shin Se Kyung, despite the threatening nature of her messages. Shin Se Kyung's agency seemed satisfied with the verdict and did not appeal for a harsher sentence. However, they stated that freedom of expression doesn't justify hiding behind anonymity to threaten someone's life. Thus, the ruling served as a significant precedent in addressing cyber violence, underscoring that celebrities were entitled to the same protection of their personal rights as ordinary citizens. The court's decision also aimed to deter similar crimes in the future.
