Comment on Can you be sued for defaming virtual K-pop stars? South Korea court says yes

anyone know what the claim is to even count as defamation?. That to me seems like what should be the crux.
IE if the claim was “X’s voice clearly shows he’s dying of cancer.” I could see that as defamation. On the other hand “X is summoning demons” that clearly would be fan-fiction.

I’m not sure about Korean laws specifically, but they’re usually has to be actual damage to win a defamation case. If accusations of summoning demons caused them to lose business, it would count.
