Earlier, Kim mentioned the Seoi Elementary School incident on his YouTube broadcast, saying, "It is known that a current politician is involved," and added, "(That person) is a three-term member of the People Power Party, as far as I know, but there has been no coverage at all." After Han's side explained, "My great-granddaughter is a middle school student," Kim said, "This information is inaccurate, so I correct it. I will conduct additional investigation and inform you again," but he did not apologize separately to Han or others.

After submitting the complaint, Han told reporters, "Our society is now seeing a person being destroyed without any factual basis or any connection, and fake news being created. It is time to judge and definitely uncover the truth."

Han firmly denied the possibility of withdrawing the complaint, saying, "There is none." He added, "I will file second and third complaints in the future," and said, "This will not end here; there are still people creating fake news, and I cannot forgive them."
