Media news outlets recently reported on the progress of the lawsuit case filed by South Korean actor Jo Byeong Gyu against the accuser who dragged the actor's name into the school bullying case. According to media reports, the case cannot proceed until the accuser arrives in South Korea for witnesses and testimony.
Quoting from Allkpop on Friday July 21, 2023, in 2021, actor Jo Byeong Gyu was accused of bullying while in junior high school, when he was in New Zealand. The actor denied the accusations and filed a lawsuit against the accuser, hoping to prove his innocence.
However, because the accuser lives in New Zealand and refuses to come to South Korea to attend police interrogation, the investigation into the case has not progressed in the past 2 years. Recently the news media reported that Jo Byeong Gyu is considering suing the accuser in New Zealand, and is willing to cover all legal costs for both parties in order to prove the truth.
Media also reported that the cost needed to handle the case was estimated at 1.2 billion won. However, according to one of the insiders' comments, Jo Byung Kyu's side decided not to pursue separate charges against the New Zealand accuser, as it would take a long time to deal with the case, and did not guarantee that the lawsuit would be sufficient to prove his innocence in South Korea.
Responding to this news, a number of netizens showed their support for the actor. They also stated that Jo Byeong Gyu appeared innocent, judging from the actor's willingness to bear the costs for both parties so that the accuser could cooperate and give official statements and participate in investigations in South Korea.
But sadly, the accusers refused to cooperate. Meanwhile, Jo Byeong Gyu will return to the small screen through his role in the Korean drama ' The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch' on Saturday, July 29, 2023. He will play the main character named So Mun.
