The prosecutor asked for an eight-month jail term for a YouTube content creator who alleged that Kim Hee-young, head of the T&C Foundation and girlfriend of SK Group CEO Chey Tae-won, worked as a Chinese intelligence agent.
Judge Kwon Min-jeong from the Criminal Division 6 of the Seoul Eastern District Court conducted the initial hearing on the 11th for Park, a man in his 50s, who has been brought to court charged with defamation via misleading information under the Information and Communications Network Act. Park had previously received an indictment without being detained in April.
Park is charged with disseminating misleading information, such as claiming on his YouTube channel last year that Kim was highly likely to be a Chinese spy.
The prosecutor asked the court to impose an 8-month jail term on Park, saying, "The accused made unfounded and unreasonable statements and posted videos of those comments, which worsened the severity of the offense."
Park confessed to all the allegations.
The trial judgment for Park is scheduled for the 9th day of the following month.
