Kang Daniel’s sasaeng YouTuber Sojang was absent for final hearing, court issued strict warning
On July 15, 2024, it was reported by South Korean media outlet Spot TV News that the YouTuber Sojang who defamed Kang Daniel and spread malicious rumors about him had failed to appear in court for the defamation lawsuit’s final hearing. Consequently, the final trial has been postponed.
It was reported that the 18th Criminal Divison of Seoul Central District Court’s Judge Lee Jun Gu was set to hold a public hearing for the final trial of the lawsuit filed by Kang Daniel against YouTuber Sojang whose identity is Park. Park was charged with violation of the Information and Communication Network Act, otherwise known as defamation.
On this day, Park’s lawyer explained the reason for their absence in the court saying that they had undergone surgery to remove a tumor from their finger and could not attend the trial because of extreme pain.
The court was not pleased and said that submitting a reason for absence on the same day of the trial is not a good practice and puts the court in a difficult position. The court issued a strict warning and asked Park’s lawyer to convey to them that if they failed to appear in court again on the next date, an arrest warrant would be issued effectively.
Additionally, the court has now postponed the final trial to August 12, 2024. On that day, after the defendant’s examination, the court will proceed with sentencing.
