[📰] A malicious commenter who insulted IU was sentenced to a suspended prison term on appeal.
The Seoul Central District Court’s Criminal Appeals Division 9-2 sentenced defendant A, who was charged with insult, to four months in prison, suspended for one year, in the second trial. The court also ordered probation and 80 hours of community service.

As in the first trial, the appeals court found A guilty of insult, ruling that A had posted comments that could harm IU’s reputation.
The court also pointed out that even though IU is a public figure, the expressions used by A went beyond what could be accepted as an opinion.
The court said, “The defendant denies the crime and shows no remorse, has not been forgiven by the victim, and has repeatedly committed the same type of offense, showing a high risk of committing similar crimes again.”
