In the lawsuit brought by lawyer Kim So Yeon, the plaintiff complained about the KakaoTalk posts that were featured in the media. As per Money Control, an excerpt of the lawsuit reads, “The conversation between the defendant (Han Seo Hee) and ‘A’ suggests solicitation for sexual intercourse, and when the response was delayed, she threatened, ‘Do you want to die?’ and ‘A’ responded with ‘Why are you talking so scary?’ and then blocked her,” and further explained, “She sent a message to ‘A’ saying ‘do ***’ to induce sexual shame or disgust, and by informing enough harm to cause fear due to the delayed response, she threatened him,” and criticized, “She then shared this conversation in an open chatroom where it could be seen by many, implying as if ‘A’ and the defendant had been having sexual relations, thereby damaging ‘A’s reputation.”
