Ms. A, the ex-girlfriend of professional basketball player Heo Woong (31, KCC), has sued YouTuber Karakula (real name Lee Se-wook) for defamation.
On the 23rd, attorney Noh Jong-eon, who is representing Mr. A’s legal representative, filed a complaint against Karakula for defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act at the Seocho Police Station in Seoul, saying, “They spread false information about Mr. A on their YouTube channel.”
At the end of last month, when Heo Woong filed a complaint with the police against Ms. A for blackmail and other charges and the war over the truth continued, Caracula released a video through an informant containing claims such as, “Ms. A worked at a bar and had an abortion.”
Karakula also pointed out, “Mr. A traveled a lot to Europe, Bali, Japan, Thailand, and other places in a short period of time, riding business class to shop for luxury goods. How could an ordinary graduate student live alone in a luxury apartment in Cheongdam-dong, the most expensive apartment in Gangnam?”
Regarding this, Attorney Noh refuted, saying, “The Lamborghini that he received from the sponsor is a leased vehicle under Mr. A’s name. His parents gave him an allowance every month to use for the lease fee. There is all the supporting documentation, such as the Lamborghini registration certificate and his mother’s bank transfer details.”
He continued, “My parents also rented the apartment in Cheongdam-dong for me,” and added, “My parents are already well-off. They are middle class.”
Attorney Noh pointed out, “Caracula spread false information by borrowing the informant’s words. The informant is primarily responsible for spreading false information, but Caracula is also responsible for not guaranteeing the right to refute without cross-checking.”
He added, “Previously, the late YouTuber Kim Yong-ho was also found guilty in a case where he believed only the words of an informant and did not guarantee the right to rebuttal. The precedent is that there must be a legitimate basis for trusting an informant.”
Person A has also filed a complaint with the police against the person who appears as an informant in the video for defamation.
Currently, the case in which Mr. A is countersuing Heo Woong for rape and assault has been transferred to the Yongin West Police Station in Gyeonggi Province.
Karakula, who is also suspected of threatening famous YouTuber Tzuyang, announced his retirement and made all of his videos private on the 22nd, stating, “All of the recent suspicions are my fault and oversight.” However, he again denied the suspicions, saying, “I have never threatened Tzuyang and extorted (money).”
Karakula said, “I will not hide my crimes, I will reveal all the facts, I will faithfully cooperate with the scheduled investigation by the investigative authorities, and if I am punished, I will gladly accept it,” and “I will live the rest of my life quietly in reflection and repentance.”
