Following the school bullying scandal, the image of Jo Byeong-kyu, who gained popularity from the Korean drama "The Uncanny Counter," has severely deteriorated. Recently, Korean media revealed that Jo Byeong-kyu had contemplated suing the whistleblower abroad for approximately 1.2 billion KRW, but ultimately gave up, drawing criticism from the Korean internet community.
The popular manga-adapted Korean drama "The Uncanny Counter2" is set to air on the 29th, with the original cast members including Jo Byeong-kyu, Kim Se-Jeong, Ryu Jun-Sang, Yeon Hye-Ran, and Ahn Ji-Hwan returning. However, due to Jo Byeong-kyu's school controversy, many netizens are boycotting the drama.
On the 21st day of this month, South Korean reports exclusively revealed that Jo Byeong-kyu, after his first controversy in 2018, has brought criminal litigation against the whistle-blower without hesitation in the 3rd "campus controversy" in 2021, aiming to restore his personal honor and legally punish the whistle-blower.
However, as the poster lives in New Zealand abroad, he refused to accept the subpoena for investigation. According to sources, due to the controversy, Jo Byeong-kyu not only lost his reputation, but also lost many variety shows, Korean dramas, and other jobs, which made him feel wronged.
Therefore, in order to seek compensation and for the damages to reputation due to not being able to participate in showbiz activities for 2 years, he decided to personally pursue a civil lawsuit in New Zealand. Unfortunately, the required amount is about 1.2 billion Korean won (600 million for attorney's fees + 600 million needed to pay for the accused), eventually, due to the "costs involved in the lawsuit process being too long" and "the inability to restore reputation", he decided not to proceed with the civil lawsuit in New Zealand.
After this news was exposed, netizens uniformly criticized Jo Byeong-kyu, saying "It's really unfair, spend any amount of money! Image is the life of an artist, isn't 600 million also a pity?" "Really thick-skinned" "Why not do it if it's unfair?"
"Clearly able to clear the injustice but not doing anything," "In the end no prosecution," "Claiming to be wronged but doing nothing," "What kind of bullshit talk is this," "Surely, through lawsuit, one can definitely restore their reputation," "No matter what, people will gossip," and other strong accusations.
Editor: For celebrities, image should be more important than money, right? 😌😌
