[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The Judicial Examination Preparation Group (Sajunmo), which filed complaints against Lee Jong-won, the representative of the 개싸움국민운동본부 (Gaegukbon) that held the 'Protect Cho Kuk' candlelight rally last year, and broadcaster Kim Eo-jun, has requested an investigation by the police into 100 netizens who posted critical comments about them.


Sajunmo stated on the 8th, "After filing complaints against the two individuals, we confirmed that malicious false information about Sajunmo was being systematically spread on portals and insulting comments were being posted." They filed a complaint with the Gwanak Police Station in Seoul against 100 netizens for violating the Information and Communications Network Act and defamation.


Sajunmo claimed that comments such as "a company that takes money from the prosecution and files complaints on their behalf," "trash who take money and orders from Party A to file complaints," and "fraudsters, the Judicial Examination Preparation Group" constitute false information or insults.


Earlier, Sajunmo also filed a complaint with the prosecution against Kim, the host of TBS Radio's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' accusing him of damaging the honor of grandmother Lee Yong-soo, a victim of the Japanese military sexual slavery, by raising 'behind-the-scenes conspiracy theories' after her press conference last month.


Additionally, Sajunmo filed a complaint against Lee Jong-won, the representative of Gaegukbon, alleging embezzlement of business funds for using a personal account to collect donations during the 'Protect Cho Kuk' rally and failing to disclose the usage details.



Sajunmo also stated that if the identities of the netizens who posted the comments are identified, they plan to file lawsuits seeking damages.
