The court was in session.
First came the submission of evidence.
As the plaintiffs, Song Qingrong and Li Ruzhi naturally submitted their evidence right away.
Defamation meant fabricating trouble to smear someone's good name and causing them actual losses.
But there was one detail here: whom exactly had Kim Jeong-tae defamed?
Was it Song Qingrong or Xiao Yu?
If it was Xiao Yu, defamation would be difficult to establish.
Because Xiao Yu told fortunes, and he was a "promoter of superstition" who had just lost his case.
So the claim that he had "defamed Xiao Yu" would be difficult to establish.
Under the overarching premise that "fortune-telling is indeed superstition," this did not count as defamation.
At most, it amounted to excessive language, insults, and the like.
What? You said insulting people was illegal?
But had you ever seen anyone sentenced or taken to court for insulting someone?
Insulting public officials was certainly unacceptable, but even if you really did insult one, they could hardly take you to court unless you went too far.
Besides, Xiao Yu was not a public official in South Korea!
Not to mention that it had all happened online.
No amount of proof or fortune-telling would help.
Because the law itself did not support that argument, whether at home or abroad.
So today's defamation charge concerned the defamation of two people: "Song Qingrong and Xiao Yu"!
And as for today's main focus...
Sorry, whether you were Kim Jeong-tae or Choi Su-jin, you defendants were merely supporting players.
As long as the more important objective was achieved.
The lawsuit itself no longer mattered.
Because losing was no longer possible, and your reputations were destined to end up in the gutter.
For instance, once word got out, netizens would think: What? It was just a defamation charge,
