Seo-in Yoon said that the independence activist lived roughly… “Earn a lot of money” lawsuit notice

Attorney Chung Cheol-seung (31st Judicial Research and Training Institute), chairman of the Korean Legislative Association, announced a lawsuit against cartoonist Yoon Seo-in, who mocked the independence activist.

In a post on his Facebook page on the 16th, he said, “We plan to file a criminal complaint as well as a small amount of alimony for defamation of independence activists.” Attorney Jeong also suggested a specific amount, saying, “About 1 million won per person?”

He added, “There are 8,000 members who are direct descendants of those who received medals or packages for the independence movement only in the Liberation Society, and if we go to the side, there will be at least tens of thousands of descendants of independence activists nationwide. He added, “Even if you file a group lawsuit involving only thousands of people, the total amount of alimony will reach billions of won.” To pay the price for money… ”Added.

He mentioned the group suit because of the ruling last December. At that time, Yoon was fined 7 million won in the Supreme Court for defamation of the late Paik Nam-ki’s family members.

Attorney Jung mentioned this fact and speculated that “(Yoon) did not reflect on or self-sufficiently at all and did something that caused even greater resentment.” “If a fine of 7 million won is a penalty, even though it is a heavy punishment that could result in jail sentence for committing a crime of the same kind, the speculation sounds quite convincing as it does not appear to be reduced.”

This is interpreted to mean that Yun should no longer be able to pursue economic benefits through a larger alimony lawsuit.

Attorney Jeong said in a post posted prior to this article that he said, “It looks like he was angry at the Liberation Society,” and “I was asked to review the legal action against Seo-in Yoon.”

On the other hand, on the 12th, Yoon posted a photo on his Facebook page comparing the homes of pro-Japanese descendants and independence activists descendants. “While the pro-Japanese descendants lived so hard, what on earth did the independence activists descendants? In fact, it turns out that even 100 years ago, the so-called pro-Japanese were people who lived hard and independence activists were people who lived roughly.”

The article quickly spread to the online community and social media, resulting in criticism. On the controversy date, Yun deleted the post.
