In response, Lee Jin-ho’s legal representative Bae Geun-jo (All Law Firm Law) argued, “The reason Lee Jin-ho was acquitted was because the credibility of the statement was low.”

He added, “Ku Hye-sun is sincere for the friend who helped her write the statement. However, it is still a situation where secondary harm occurs to the person involved in the statement or Hye-seon Goo,” he added.
