In July 2024, the defendant targeted Plave in a series of posts - some containing profanity. Among them were comments that the people behind the avatars “could be ugly in real life” and gave off a “typical Korean man vibe”, Korea Times reported.
Unless the guy said much worse things that weren’t reported, it seems like South Korean defamation laws are draconian.

He’s getting in the way of these people making money, so I can see useful idiots chomping at the bit to punish him.
