[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Kim Sam-seok, the representative of Suwon Citizen Newspaper and husband of Yoon Mi-hyang, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, has filed police complaints against numerous netizens who criticized him and his family.

According to the police on the 6th, Kim recently submitted a complaint to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency against 168 netizens for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation) and for charges of insult.

The accused netizens reportedly posted malicious comments online criticizing Kim and his family during the period in May when various allegations related to the Justice Memory Solidarity, Representative Yoon, and Kim surfaced.

Some netizens are also known to have cited only the first trial, which found Kim guilty despite the Supreme Court's final acquittal on charges of extortion, thereby falsely implying that he was guilty.

Last month, Kim filed police complaints against 25 individuals including YouTubers and journalists for defamation, and filed a lawsuit for damages amounting to a total of 640 million KRW against 33 people including them at the Seoul Central District Court.
