Two netizens who wrote malicious comments and circulated rumors toward actor Song Hye-kyo were handed over to Prosecution.
Police in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province, said on the 15th that netizen A and B were sent to Prosecution on charges of defamation and insult under the Information and Communication Network Act.
In June, when Song Hye-kyo reported on the divorce process with Song Jung-ki, A posted a blog post on his blog saying, "China's big sponsor is a decisive reason for divorce." He is accused of defaming Song Hye-kyo by disclosing false facts.
Mr. B is accused of insulting Song Hye-kyo by posting insulting comments such as "man-eating ghost" and "beautiful is like XXX ..." in an Internet article that reported the breakup of Song Hye-kyo couple at a similar time.
Song Hye-kyo has filed a complaint with the police in July, specifying 15 Internet IDs that posted malicious comments and rumors about him. Of these, 13 IDs were not withdrawn or tracked from the site; only two, including A, who was identified, were handed over to Prosecution.
Meanwhile, Song Hye-kyo appears in his first official domestic appearance four months after he reported his divorce. At 2 pm on the 17th, he will attend a jewelery brand photo call event held at Avenue El, the head office of Lotte Department Store in Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.
