Broadcaster Kwak Min-sun threatened to take strong action against severe defamation regarding her fiancé Song Min-kyu.
On the 13th, Kwak posted on her social account, "We may not be aware because video clips are easily consumed, but channels that illegally use soccer broadcast screens are operating so naturally and openly while earning tens of millions of won each month."
Since sports broadcasts are works protected by copyright, uploading broadcast videos illegally to personal channels constitutes a copyright violation.
In particular, Kwak noted, "As a result of being obsessed with provocative content, if it crosses the line into false insults and defamation against players, it seems I won't just be able to watch any longer," and hinted at a lawsuit over fake news by saying, "Thanks to that, I will also try to become rich!"
Meanwhile, Kwak Min-sun, who previously worked at SPOTV GAMES, has been active as an esports broadcaster. She gained attention after being involved in a romantic rumor with her boyfriend Song Min-kyu, a football player from Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, who is seven years younger than her, in 2023.
In particular, Song Min-kyu drew attention with a celebration gesture of kneeling on one knee and offering a ring to the camera after scoring the decisive goal in the match against FC Seoul on the 4th. At that time, he stated, "It is a ceremony to propose to my girlfriend," revealing plans for marriage by the end of this year. In response, Kwak uploaded Song's celebration on her SNS, saying, "You have to win at least!"
Below is the full text of broadcaster Kwak Min-sun's post.

but channels that illegally use soccer broadcast screens are operating so naturally and openly while earning tens of millions of won each month.
However, as a result of being obsessed with provocative content, if it crosses the line into false insults and defamation against players, it seems I won't just be able to watch any longer.
Thanks to that, I will also try to become rich!
