Cho Byeong Kyu’s Damages Lawsuit Heads to Appeal Hearing
Actor Cho Byeong Kyu will once again return to court as the legal dispute related to past school bullying allegations continues.
According to reports, the Seoul High Court has scheduled the first appeal hearing for August 28 regarding Cho Byeong Kyu’s damages lawsuit against the individual who initially made the allegations.
The actor originally sought approximately 4 billion won in damages, claiming he suffered financial losses due to canceled advertisements, television appearances, and damage to his reputation. During the appeal process, the requested compensation was reduced to around 900 million won.
Last year, the court dismissed Cho Byeong Kyu’s lawsuit, stating that the evidence submitted was insufficient to conclude that the online allegations were false.
The controversy first began in 2021 when an individual claimed that Cho Byeong Kyu had committed school violence while studying in New Zealand. Although the actor strongly denied the accusations, the controversy led him to step away from several television appearances at the time.
Despite the ongoing legal battle, Cho Byeong Kyu returned to acting and starred in The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch, continuing his career while the case proceeds through the legal system.
The appeal hearing later this August is expected to attract significant attention from both fans and the Korean entertainment industry.
