[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On the 14th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that they have sent cartoonist Yoon Seo-in to the prosecution on charges of defaming the honor of descendants of independence activists.


On January 12, Yoon posted a photo on his SNS with the caption "House of pro-Japanese collaborators and house of descendants of independence activists" and wrote, "While the descendants of pro-Japanese collaborators work so hard like that, what on earth have the descendants of independence activists been doing?" This post is alleged to have defamed the honor of the descendants of independence activists.



In July, 463 independence patriots and their descendants filed a complaint with the police against Yoon for defamation and insult under the Information and Communications Network Act.
