The side of the revealer who raised the suspicion of sexual violence against Ki Sung-yong changed his position, saying, “We will not disclose the evidence to the public.” If you’re sued, you’re going to bring evidence to the court.

On the 26th of last month, attorney Park Ji-hoon, the attorney for the extortionist, told SBS that there is clear evidence of sexual violence and that Ki Sung-yong continues to deny the allegations, so the evidence may be disclosed.
[박지훈/폭로자 측 법률대리인 (지난달 26일) : 당연히 공개할 수도 있고요. 특단의 조치를 내려야 하지 않을까 싶은데.]
Later, when Ki Sung-yong asked for the release of evidence,
[기성용/FC서울 (지난달 27일) : 빨리 증거를 내놓고 증거에 대해서 빨리빨리 해명하면 될 일인데, 자꾸 다른 소리 하면서 왜 여론몰이를 하는지 이해할 수 없고.]
He confronted him saying, “I will reveal all the evidence soon,” and then changed his position in two days.
Evidence is to be submitted only to investigative agencies and courts.
I heard the reason that “it is difficult to disclose evidence to the public in order to protect the moral rights of the people in the material.”
At the same time, they asked Sung-Yong Ki to file a lawsuit against them.
He made an unusual request to sue the person who allegedly accused the perpetrator while claiming the damage.
In response, Sung-Yong Ki’s agent reaffirmed its existing position, “We will take all legal actions.”
In the case of a court dispute, Ki Sung-yong must prove that the claims of the revelators are false, and the revelators must prove the truth of the damage.
[김문중/법무법인 로고스 변호사 : 기성용 선수 입장에서 없는 사실을 (없다고) 입증하기는 좀 어려워 보이고요, 피해자 측에서 증거 제출한다고 하니까 그 증거로 재판부에서 판단하게 될 것 같습니다.]
As it has caused a tremendous wave of waves, it will take a considerable amount of time before the truth is hidden if it leads to a defamation lawsuit.
