3. Determination

(a) Correction reports and defamation;

1) In a case where a request for a corrective report on television reports is made, it should be premised on the fact that the content of the report pertains to the fact for the claim to be accepted, regardless of whether the claim is based on the Civil Act, on the ground of an unlawful act of defamation as claimed under the Act on Press Arbitration and Remedies, etc. for Damage Caused by Press Reports. Whether the content of the report contains “the assertion of actual facts” or how to distinguish it from the expression of opinion “an expression of opinion” should be determined by comprehensively taking into account the overall flow of the report, screen composition method, ordinary meaning of the words used and the method of linking the words, etc. under the premise that the general viewers have access to the broadcast report with ordinary care, as well as the overall impression given to the viewers (see Supreme Court Decision 2010Da20181, Jun. 14, 2012). In order to establish defamation by media reports, there should be a statement of specific facts likely to undermine the victim’s social evaluation, and in this case, the overall expression of facts should be 201 to the extent of indirect and indirect expression.

B. According to the evidence No. 5 of the broadcast content of this case, it is recognized that the entire time of the instant broadcast was 19 minutes and 30 seconds, consisting of the following contents:

00:45 The caption "two women arrested by suspicion of intimidation" and, when two voices are escorted by the police, one of them "one of the threatened women shall be a member of a be group" and the voice H sing video.

03:36 The voice 05:37 that "The police shall complete an investigation and have been able to arrest two women who are suspected of intimidation...................................................... who

Two women who threatened with I’s photographs, two picture picture photographs of women’s form, 06:29 to 07:16 “one of them shall be a member of a group of “A”, and a voice, voice, H’s singing, and smoke image.

07:16-07:22 "The other person is known to be a model, but accurate information is not known to him/her." The other criminal suspect "a form" refers to "a form of a model A", "at least 07:23, where the screen shock of the caption plaintiff."

The pictures of the caption I, the pictures of H, and the pictures of women’s shape 07:29 to 07:42 H, of “I and threatened women, etc.??????????????’s instant pictures?

Do12:45 Do Governor's photograph 13:07 Do Governor's photograph, H's photograph, and woman's photograph Do governor 16:01

I’s photograph, H’s photograph, a caption “N in Modio Terrorism case”, and a face-to-face 18:46 two women are escorted by the police by two women, and face-to-face 16:09, by the police.

(c) factual assertion and statement of fact;

1) The following examinations are conducted by each of the above recognized facts, Gap evidence 4, 5, 6, Eul evidence 1, and 2, and video (including paper numbers).

In the broadcast of this case, one of the two women who threatened I is a member of H, and one of whom is a producer of H’s photo, singing, and smoke screen was aired in the background screen. The broadcast of this case, "a model A", stating that only one woman other than H was known to be a model, but only information was not known to be a model," and three times the picture picture of women other than H were broadcasted in the broadcast of this case. In addition, if it is intended to verify the identity of one woman other than H, 2 women of this case were sent to the police, and if so, 4 women of this case’s screen screen was sent to the front 6th of the screen screen, 2 women of this case’s screen screen were sent to the front 6th of the screen screen: one woman of this case’s screen, other than the front 6th of the screen screen, and it was difficult to view the Plaintiff’s remaining 17th of the screen screen as a whole, unless it appears to have been known to be a specific woman or woman of this case.

Among two women who threatened I, one female other than H was known as a model and did not have specific identification, the content of this broadcast is indicated as data screen on the face of the Plaintiff’s appearance, and it is difficult to specify one female as the Plaintiff, and the name of the Plaintiff is 10 high school students at the time of the instant broadcast. However, from L prior to the instant broadcast, one of the two women who threatened I was considerably known as H from the Internet, and the other female is 25 years old model M. Meanwhile, in the instant broadcast, one female model was indicated as “H,” other than H, A, and one female student was not designated as the Plaintiff or one female student.

According to these circumstances, even if the broadcast of this case shows the display of a fashion show shown by the Plaintiff, it is difficult to view that viewers are likely to receive one female member other than H from the above face as the Plaintiff.

2) If so, among two women who threatened I in the instant broadcast, one female other than H cannot be deemed to have indicated the fact that the Plaintiff is the Plaintiff or suggest the existence of such fact, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge this otherwise.

Therefore, the Plaintiff’s claim of this case seeking damages from corrective report and defamation against the Defendants on the ground of factual assertion or statement of fact is without merit.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed in its entirety due to the lack of reason. Since the judgment of the court of first instance partially accepted the plaintiff's claim, the part against the defendants in the judgment of the court of first instance is revoked and the plaintiff's claim corresponding to that part is dismissed.
