Park Soo-hong Responds to Blackmail Allegations Amid Legal Dispute

Park Soo-hong (박수홍) is facing allegations of blackmail from the representative of a food company with whom he is currently in a legal dispute. On July 30, Park's legal team issued a statement claiming they learned about the accusations through media reports and have not yet received the formal complaint. They suspect that the extensive media coverage may be an attempt to damage Park's reputation.

The allegations surfaced after the food company representative, referred to as Mr. A, filed a complaint on July 14, claiming he was threatened by Park's side. This follows a lawsuit initiated by Park's agency in September 2023, which accused Mr. A's company of using Park's image in advertisements without permission, seeking approximately 500 million KRW in damages. This case is currently under review at the Seongnam branch of the Suwon District Court.

Mr. A alleges that Park's lawyer demanded an apology under duress just before the lawsuit was filed, claiming that the lawyer's actions were directed by Park himself. In response, Park's legal representative stated that it is perplexing for Mr. A to raise these issues after two years and questioned his motives.

They emphasized that Mr. A's claims are based on alleged threats made by Park's legal representative, not by Park directly, which raises questions about the validity of the complaint. Park's legal team concluded by stating that these unfounded accusations could be considered defamation, and they are preparing to take strong legal action to protect Park's reputation.
