I think Seung-gyu has a solid case for defamation here. He not only took a major hit to his reputation that would be difficult to sort out (people care more about accusations than the truth), but he suffered material losses through the decrease in business at his clinic, and even faced assault and vandalism (not by Dohyeon himself but due to the things he said, e.g. inciting violence). Samsam ALSO has a defamation claim, given that he lost a commercial contract due to the nonsense Dohyeon was spreading around, not to mention more assault charges with video evidence (this time against Dohyeon himself). I hope that fucked gets sued into oblivion and faces both civil and criminal charges and goes bankrupt and rots.
Note that this is all armchair law based on American law, not Korean. But I’m super heated right now so here’s my rant. I’m willing to research precedent and relevant law if pressed.
