- Reporter Choi has been indicted without detention on May 12 on a defamation charge under the Information and Communications Network Act
- haknyeon filed a complaint last june and the police launched an investigation and referred the case to the prosecution this march, reporter choi stated that they didn't know the accusations were false, the supreme court says that even if the report was proven to be untrue later on, it is unlawful to be done even if the reporter believed it to be true at that time and if they did it for public interest
- based on statements from the reporter, staff from 100, and transcripts of conversations between haknyeon and 100, the charge of defamation by stating false facts was confirmed. even if they stated their source as "several entertainment industry insiders" they failed to provide evidence during the investigation. reporter choi stated on their article that "ju haknyeon admitted to the prostitution after the company provided concrete evidence" but the investigation into 100 proved this to be untrue.
- haknyeon consistently claimed that 100 tried to remove him from the group unilaterally and that there was someone behind these prostitution allegations. haknyeon also said that a 'unidentified company official' conspired with the reporter to make that false report
- the police suspected cgw to be that official but found no evidence regarding it so they decided not to forward the case, the prosecution also reviewed the non-referral of the case and concluded that there were no issues and did not request for a re-investigation
