2. Determination as to the cause of action

A. 1) The Plaintiff asserts that the Defendant’s criminal act subject to criminal punishment interfered with the Plaintiff’s business, and that the Defendant incurred a total of KRW 15,461,49 property damage. 2) The Defendant’s criminal act interfered with the Plaintiff’s business, and thereby, it is insufficient to recognize the Plaintiff’s property damage, solely based on the evidence No. 5, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge it. Thus, this part of the Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit.

B. According to the above facts of recognition as to the claim for consolation money, the defendant is recognized to have impaired the plaintiff's reputation. Thus, the defendant is obligated to pay the plaintiff the mental suffering that the plaintiff suffered.

Meanwhile, the amount of consolation money shall be 4,000,000 won by taking full account of the following circumstances acknowledged by the evidence as seen earlier:

① It seems that the Defendant did not prepare writing to inform her of his experience, but rather written the same article as written in the separate facts constituting an offense in order to slander the Plaintiff, who has an emotional conflict with her own.

② The Defendant may use multiple users for the foregoing purpose via the Internet which is highly likely to spread.
