[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won filed a civil suit following a complaint to the police against a netizen who posted negative messages about his live-in girlfriend.

On the 14th, Chairman Choi Tae-won filed a damage suit with the Busan District Court through a law firm to pay 30 million won to the netizen A.

Chairman Choi pointed out that he defamed A by continuously posting negative media reports related to his live-in girlfriend on a large Internet site.

"It provides a space for haters to operate by writing transparent postings by weaving provocative rumors," Chairman Choi said in the petition. "It is no exaggeration to say that the defendant is making personal attacks on the plaintiffs by using the words of the comment writers."

Choi had previously filed a complaint with the police against Mr. A for defamation in January.
