2. The costs of lawsuit shall be borne by the Plaintiff.

The plaintiff is a political party registered under the Political Parties Act, and the defendant is a person who publishes online newspaper D(E).

On April 11, 2018, the Defendant posted the same article as attached Form 3 of F, “F” (hereinafter “instant article”) in D.

On April 23, 2018, the Plaintiff filed an application with the Press Arbitration Commission for mediation seeking corrective reports on the article No. 1 of this case. On May 2, 2018, the Defendant published the same article as the article No. 4 of the G, prepared by the Defendant’s Intervenor, in D (hereinafter “instant article No. 2”). The Press Arbitration Commission, on May 3, 2018, decided that the instant application for mediation was rejected.

[인정근거] 다툼 없는 사실, 갑 제2, 4 내지 7호증의 각 기재, 변론 전체의 취지 원고의 주장 피고는 이 사건 제1, 2 기사를 통하여 ‘원고의 전 대표인 H가 청소년을 보고 무시하거나 비웃고 색깔론을 들이댔다’는 허위사실을 공연히 적시함으로써 원고의 명예를 훼손하였다.

Therefore, the defendant has a duty to pay consolation money of KRW 100 million to the plaintiff's mental damage caused by such tort, and to make a corrective report as an appropriate disposition for restoring honor.

(A) The Plaintiff’s indirect enforcement of corrective reports also sought for defamation against executives of a judgment organization. It is reasonable to deem that the content of defamation is related to the officer’s business and, if it is sufficient to undermine the social evaluation of the organization, the organization’s reputation or credit was also impaired (see Supreme Court Decision 2003Da69942, Nov. 12, 2004). The first and second articles of this case relate to the behavior and statement of juveniles who demand that most of the officers of the Plaintiff’s former representative H’s election age be lowered to 18 years, but if this is false, the social evaluation of the Plaintiff would be lowered.
