Taeha, a law firm that serves as Park Soo-hong's legal representative, said in an official statement on the 7th that `Park Soo-hong, who was accused of threatening in July, was sentenced to 'no charge' (not charged)" he said.
In July this year, food company CEO A sued Park Soo-hong for intimidation. At the time, Park Soo-hong said, `I heard the news through media reports,' adding, `We suspect media play to damage the image of celebrities for this massive report when we do not know the exact details because we have not yet received the complaint.'
Park Soo-hong's legal representative said "Park Soo-hong faithfully conducted a police investigation, and the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul concluded on October 20 that there was no charge, that is, notification to Park Soo-hong." Park Soo-hong's alleged threats turned out to be `groundless.'
Then "This is a very natural result. This is because A's argument could not even be established from the beginning. At the time of the complaint, Mr. A's claim is that he heard threatening words from Park Soo-hong's legal representative in the past. In other words, even though he had never heard such words directly from Park Soo-hong and had never instructed his legal representative to make such a statement to this effect, he filed a complaint against Park Soo-hong, not the actor. This can only be seen as an act to tarnish and pressure the image of celebrity Park Soo-hong, and is a clear innocent."
Earlier in September 2023, Park Soo-hong filed a lawsuit for about 500 million won in contract payment for A's company's use of Park Soo-hong's face as an unauthorized advertisement for more than a year. The case is being heard at the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court. In response, Park Soo-hong said, `A did not accept the court's decision to settle the matter 'Pay part of the model fee to Park Soo-hong, and suddenly raised such an absurd issue in two years.' `Since the police investigation has made it clear that A's claim is a groundless falsehood, we will firmly consider legal action against such defamatory acts in the future.'
Hereinafter, the official position of Park Soo-hong, legal representative.
Hello.
I'm Taeha Chae Eui-joon, a lawyer at the law firm who is in charge of Park Soo-hong's legal representation.
Park Soo-hong, who was accused of threatening in July, was sentenced to 'no charge' (no charge). I am informing you of the official position in this regard.
1. In July, food company A sued Park Soo-hong for intimidation. At that time, Park Soo-hong first heard the news through the media when he did not know the exact details because he did not receive a complaint. In response, Park Soo-hong expressed his suspicion of media play to damage his image.
2. Since then, Park Soo-hong has faithfully conducted a police investigation, and the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul concluded on October 20 that there was no charge, that is, no charge, and notified Park Soo-hong. It was clearly revealed that Park Soo-hong's alleged intimidation was 'groundless'.
3. This is a very natural result. Because A's argument couldn't even be established from the beginning. At the time of the complaint, Mr. A's claim is that he had heard threatening words from Park Soo-hong's legal representative in the past. In other words, he filed a complaint against Park Soo-hong, not an actor, even though he had never heard such words directly from Park Soo-hong and had never instructed his legal representative to make such remarks to this effect. This can only be seen as an act to tarnish and pressure the image of celebrity Park Soo-hong, and is a clear innocent.
4. For reference, Park Soo-hong filed a lawsuit in September 2023 for a contract of about 500 million won for A's company's unauthorized use of Park Soo-hong's face in advertisements for more than a year, and the case is being heard by Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court. Mr. A did not accept the court's decision to settle the matter "Pay part of the modeling fee to Park Soo-hong", and suddenly raised such an absurd issue in two years.
5. As A's allegations were clearly revealed through a police investigation because they were groundless false, we will firmly consider legal action against such defamatory acts in the future.
