Rain, a popular Korean singer and an actor, sued a press and its reporter for spreading a false report that he had embezzled company funds. He recovered his honor when the case was decided in favor of him.
On July 13, the Seoul Central District Court has ruled that the accused three reports of the “S” press and a report of the “N” press agency should compensate Rain for both the material and mental damages they have caused him by paying in installments 30 million won and 20 million won respectively.
Last year, Rain’s agency strongly denied the news that he embezzled company funds, but the rumor has rapidly spread beyond control. That’s why the agency started taking aggressive steps in order to clear Rain of the disgrace. In December last year, the court already cleared Rain of suspicion.
The legal decision against the three reporters is one of the latest among the several lawsuits involving Rain. After the verdict, J. Tune Entertainment, Rain’s agency, says, “We cannot just be happy even though Rain won the case. That was a fight with old allies, I mean the news agencies. Rain has suffered from the fact, but it must be a good thing that now he was completely cleared of the suspicion.”
