Why did a very famous K pop girl group IVE sue a Cyber Wrecker?
First of all, the fundamental reason is that a YouTuber disgraced a K-pop girl group member by disparaging her appearance or making fake news about her.
The YouTuber earned advertising revenue by creating false news or spreading it about many popular stars and increasing their views with her YouTube account called "탈덕수용소".
The YouTube account is currently unavailable. The account was closed after a U.S. court in California ordered the YouTuber to be informed.
The article of the Korean English newspaper below explains more details.
Since the development of the Internet, there have been people who produce malicious comments or false news, but these days in Korea, YouTubers have succeeded to gain popularity and become a means of making money, and the degree has become too severe.
So what does Cyber Wrecker mean?
Wrecker has the following dictionary meanings.
1. a truck that takes away cars that are damaged or not working, tow truck
2. someone or something that destroys something
3. used in combination
If there is a traffic accident on a highway here in Korea, the first vehicle that comes running is not a police car or emergency services, but this Wrecker. It's a tow truck for towing an accident vehicle. That's how fast this Wrecker means speed and influence.
Cyber Wrecker comes from criticizing YouTubers who get views and profit from issues in the online space here in Korea by organizing them quickly.
The company, which has been plagued by constant bullying, has filed a legal case against the YouTuber, and its member, Jang, has also filed a civil suit as an individual and recently won the case.
The YouTuber created and distributed false news about BTS's V and members of NewJeans, who are also preparing to sue.
In Korea, there is now a movement to create the right culture by responding directly to the wrong culture of such malicious fans and taking legal action.
