BTS’s V and Jungkook vs ‘Taldeok Camp’: Appeal dates announced for this month

Cases against online channel Taldeok Camp have been piling up left and right. The person, who has been labeled as A, is known to make and post malicious and defamatory content against celebrities, which includes BTS members V and Jungkook. Their management company filed a lawsuit against the channel owner, after which, earlier in February, the court ordered them to pay a fine and litigation costs to the company as well as both of the singers.

At the time, ‘A’ filed an appeal with the court over the ruling.

Appeal proceedings in case are to be held this month

As per Allkpop reports, the next appeal hearings are going to be held on November 14 this month. The first hearings after the appeal in February were done in June earlier this year; however, no conclusion was reached. Earlier this year, the court had ruled that A had been guilty of producing malicious content against the BTS members and had also been fined the perpetrator.

They had been ordered by the court to pay USD 38,000 to the group’s management agency. They were also ordered to pay USD 7,400 to V and USD 11,000 to Jungkook with regard to the case. The initial lawsuit and damages claim was filed at USD 67,000.During the case hearing, the idol group’s legal representation had stated, “Court findings and the prosecution’s announcements confirm the channel run by the defendant operated as a so-called cyber ‘wrecking’ outlet amounting to insult and defamation.

These videos alleged false facts and were produced to profit by disparaging the plaintiffs. The defendant’s conduct infringed portrait and personality rights and obstructed BigHit Music’s business.

”In response to the statement, the online channel’s owner had stated through his legal team that, “The plaintiffs’ claim for damages is fundamentally untenable, and even if liability were exceptionally recognized, the amounts sought are excessively high.” They added: “Plaintiffs imply the parent HYBE’s stock drop stemmed from the defendant’s videos; causation and other elements are extremely hard to establish.
