On the 27th, Judge Lee Geon-hee of the Civil Division 29 at the Seoul Central District Court ruled in a partial victory for the plaintiff in the damages lawsuit filed by Kang Daniel against Park, the operator of Taldeoksuyongso, ordering Park to pay Kang Daniel 30 million won.


Previously, Park was prosecuted for defamation after posting a false video titled “The Promiscuous Private Life of the Nation’s Boyfriend Actor Idol” on his YouTube channel in 2022, damaging Kang Daniel’s reputation. On September 1, the first trial court sentenced Park to a fine of 10 million won.



Separately from the criminal complaint, Kang Daniel filed a civil lawsuit seeking 100 million won in damages from Park.
