[theqoo] ILLIT'S VISUAL CREATIVE DIRECTOR SERIAN HEU LOSES LAWSUIT AGAINST MIN HEEJIN

Plaintiff: “Lost”

Serian Hey filed a lawsuit against Min Heejin seeking damages for defamation and the dissemination of false information, but lost the case.

To commemorate Serian Heu’s defeat, I’m re-uploading the account of the court hearing.

The fact that she lost a lawsuit over “the dissemination of false information” is extremely important. In other words, this means that the claims of copying and plagiarism were not deemed false.

Also, Serian Heu’s side will probably try to prevent the publication of the court ruling. So everyone should quickly download the judgment before it gets made private!


"<Defendant’s Arguments>

Defense: To get to the fundamental issue in this case, this is a damages lawsuit over the dissemination of false information and defamation. We ask the court to examine whether the plaintiff has clearly proven that the defendants disseminated false information.

In the case of Mr. Shin (Defendant No. 2), the plaintiff has not even properly specified what specific unlawful act he allegedly committed.

As for Defendant Min Heejin, we ask the court to consider whether her statements, the official statement and press conference, were actually official statements made on behalf of ADOR, and whether an individual can be held personally liable for those official statements.

Furthermore, did Min Heejin’s statements specifically identify the plaintiff? No. The plaintiff was never specifically identified; she merely revealed herself to the public.

Moreover, these statements constituted expressions of criticism. Even if some portions are considered statements of fact, they were certainly not false.

The question is whether the statement that “A copied B” is false. Even before the defendant made these statements, allegations of copying between A and B had already been raised among the public and in the media. We ask the court to take this into consideration as well.

Defense: Additionally, regarding some of the evidence submitted by the plaintiff concerning whether NewJeans’ parents had first requested that plagiarism allegations be raised: the plagiarism concern that arose from that request was raised internally within HYBE. There was no attempt to make it a public issue externally.

Furthermore, this is completely unrelated to the present case. What the plaintiff should be challenging are the statements made at the press conference. The earlier issue involving the parents’ request has no relevance to this case, and we would like to emphasize that point.

original post: here

1. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. If Min Heejin was the one losing, the press would've made such a big fuss here...ㅎ

3. I looked it up, but why isn't there a single article? If Min Heejin had lost the case, they would have gone into overdrive with media play

4. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is f*cking funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. If it was the opposite, it would've been plastered everywhereㅋ

6. And that was all because of HYBoong's moneyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. I don't care about NewJeans or ILLIT, but the only thing I remember about that person is that she was all about herself and had a hell of a lot to say. She didn't care about the idols getting hate; he was too busy posting on her Stories. (I'm talking about the person who lost the lawsuit.)

8. Is it because the similarity was recognized in court?

9. Serian Heu is her real name?ㄷㄷ (T/N: 허세련/Heose-ryeon could be read as "cocky/bluffing b*tch")

10. She really lives up to her nameㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. I can't wait to see what gets posted on her Insta story! ♡
All the lawsuits involving Min Heejin seem entertainingㅋㅋ

12. And people were defending her and insisting it wasn't plagiarism

13. Looking just at the content, isn't it exactly the same as before?
The court didn't rule on whether or not it was plagiarism; instead, it held that the opinion was one a representative could reasonably express. Regarding the claim by a certain individual (SRH) that the remarks were aimed at a specific person, the court found that the statements made during the press conference and elsewhere did not appear to target any single individual.

14. Wait, it’s not a definitive ruling of plagiarism, it's just that Min, as the representative, "can claim' it's plagiarism. This is something that already came up before, right?
