On the 10th, Kim Gyu-ri wrote on his account that "the court's ruling means that posts against it can be legally punished based on this ruling" and that "we know that malicious comments are being plastered on various articles." Erase them on your own. A week later, we will gather data and proceed with a massive lawsuit. There is no mercy,' he warned.
Then "There is someone I filed a criminal complaint with a few years ago. There is a person who has filed a criminal complaint against a person who has regularly posted malicious articles on Daily Best for a long time, and has already been identified and given a case number by the Daejeon District Court, waiting for the final result. "I'm staying quiet, not staying still.. Let me remind you again," he added.
Kim Gyu-ri also said on the 9th that the ruling was finally confirmed. How many years have you been struggling... I want to stop having a hard time," he said, announcing the verdict's conclusion. He says "The blacklist trauma is so severe that I tremble just by hearing the letters 'ble". I feel like I can breathe a little bit now."
Regarding the blacklist damage, Kim Gyu-ri also revealed the specific damage he suffered at the time. "Someone said, "An NIS office has been set up in the alley of your house, take care of yourself"," and strange people hung around in front of the house for a few days. Even the people in the neighborhood are fined for garbage bags. Later, I heard that I looked through the trash bag as well."
Also, when my face was caught on the screen at the movie awards ceremony, I got a phone call from somewhere, and my contract to appear in the work was canceled on the same day. When the fact of the blacklist came out on the news, I left my feelings briefly on social media, but the next day, I was threatened with 'I'll kill you if you don't have it.'" He also suffered from mobile phone bugging. In those days, I was afraid to even breathe," he recalled.
Kim Gyu-ri was heavily criticized for criticizing the government's negotiations on social media during the controversy over the importation of U.S. beef in 2008. Since then, 36 cultural artists, including Kim Gyu-ri, including Moon Sung-geun, Kim Mi-hwa, Park Chan-wook, and Ahn Chi-hwan, have filed a lawsuit for damages against the state administration in 2017. They claimed that the NIS formed a 'left celebrity response TF' at the time, excluding certain people from the broadcasting and film industries, and stopped supporting them.
The Seoul High Court acknowledged the responsibility of the state on the 17th of last month, judging that `the Republic of Korea should pay 5 million won each to the plaintiffs along with former President Lee Myung Bak and former Director of the National Intelligence Service Won Se-hoon.' In response, the National Intelligence Service will deeply reflect on the mistake of misusing and abusing the authority delegated by the people on the 7th of this month. We sincerely apologize to the victims and the people," and the second trial's ruling was confirmed.
Kim Gyu-ri expressed relief at the news of the verdict's confirmation, but he said, `I apologized, but who on earth did I apologize to?'' `It seems like he did it in the air to publish an article, and the wound remains and it is just empty. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you gave up your appeal."
