Actress Kim Gyu-ri has revealed that a malicious commenter who posted hundreds of insulting messages about her has been sentenced to one year in prison, sharing a portion of the court ruling.
Kim recently posted an excerpt from the verdict on her social media, stating, "I am giving a heads-up to those who intend to enter my space and throw filth," and added, "This happened a few days ago."
According to the document shared by Kim, the Daejeon District Court sentenced the defendant, identified by the surname Lee, to one year in prison on the 22nd for charges of insult.
Kim explained, "The court recognized that the defendant posted insulting remarks about me on the public bulletin board of the internet site 'DC Inside' over 565 times over a long period, and found them guilty." She added, "The court handed down a prison sentence, taking into account the extreme mental distress I suffered due to the defendant's actions."
Kim had previously faced years of malicious public sentiment after it was revealed in 2017 that she was included on a blacklist of cultural and artistic figures during the Lee Myung-bak administration, which reportedly made it difficult for her to continue her acting career.
Separately, Kim was the victim of a robbery on the 20th of last month around 9:00 PM while staying at her home in Bukchon Hanok Village, Jongno-gu, Seoul, with a female acquaintance. Recently, she has been communicating with fans while running a cafe called 'Graze 147' with her family in Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do.
