On May 31, 2026, the Seoul Central District Court&#8217;s appellate division gave her a suspended prison term for criminal insult, meaning she will serve a 4-month prison sentence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Additionally, the court also ruled that she will remain suspended for one year and will also serve 80 hours of community service. <!-- -->The sentence also included a one-year probation period.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The sentence was initially limited to a fine, ordering the person to pay 3 million KRW. However, her case was then merged with another one. The second case was also involved separate malicious content that she had posted online. It was ruled that her comments and posts &#8220;exceeded the level of criticism that could be considered socially acceptable.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>According to the report, comments often described her using words like \u2018fraud\u2019 and \u2018mentally ill\u2019. She also targeted her agency and commented phrases such as \u201cDid you bribe the judge?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>She was also cited as a repeat offender, noting she continued posting comments even after being apprehended. However, her diagnosis of intractable epilepsy was taken into account as well while serving her the sentence. She had also deleted the comments later on, which was also another factor that was considered.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Disclaimer: This report is a journalistic account of a recent court development.
