News DSP responds to police rejecting defamation case against Hyunjoo (1 Viewer)

DSP Media has announced their intention to appeal the police’s decision to dismiss the defamation case against the acquaintance of former APRIL member Hyunjoo.

In February, someone who identified himself as Hyunjoo’s brother wrote a post alleging that Hyunjoo had been bullied by the other APRIL members. Another person claiming to be Hyunjoo’s former classmate made similar allegations. DSP Media denied all the allegations of bullying and took legal action against Hyunjoo, her family members, and her acquaintances.

In April, Hyunjoo shared a personal statement about the issue, which DSP Media responded to. APRIL members Chaewon and Yena have also spoken out against the allegations. Hyunjoo has also taken legal action against a former DSP Media employee for defamation.

On May 19, the Seoul Gwanak Police Station dismissed the charges of violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Use, Information Protection, etc. (i.e. defamation) that had been filed against “A,” Hyunjoo’s high school acquaintance.

On June 8, DSP Media issued a response that said, “The case was dismissed because according to the accused, they had gotten the information from Lee Hyunjoo and other articles published around the same time about the case, so it could not be proved that the accused had written the post with an awareness that it was false. Nothing in the police’s decision proves that what the accused had written was true.”

DSP continued, “In order to ensure that people take clear responsibility for spreading false information, we have filed a lawsuit against the person who has been identified as the provider of the relevant information. Investigation on that case will continue. We are also in the middle of appealing the decision to dismiss the case against ‘A.'

So they're suing their own artist and they won't let her leave.

This is why they've never been able to keep a top group

So AsianJunkie was lying when they said the brothers case was dropped and it was just the former classmates which that post seemed less concrete compared to the brothers anyway.

Seems like the other lawsuits can basically shift the blame onto Hyunjoo from this though and that'll probably make her lawsuit harder but ultimately we'll see how the court side of this story ends as the drama side seems left up to public opinion now.

DSP is clearly pissed and they do not give 2 cents about the happy bunny love fest ppl have with her story.
In their view she was and still is the problem.
I just do not understand why these agencies take so long to pull the trigger.
if she was really a lockerroom distraction fire her long before she kills your nascent group.
