Designer Mr. Park attended a trial as a witness on May 30 after being sued by Rain and prosecuted for defamation two days before. The two had butted heads many times before as Mr. Park was a previous tenant in a building owned by Rain, so this was not their first lawsuit, rather one of many.
It all started when Mr. Park stopped paying his rent in 2010 and consequently faced a lawsuit from Rain. In the end, the court decided against Mr. Park, who had claimed that his artwork got ruined by the rain that came through the damaged building, so the designer proceeded to sue Rain on charges of fraud. Finally, Rain sued him for defamation after he was unable to endure the continuous personal attacks.
Rain, who was also present at court on this day, said, "I received continuous pain from severe defamation . . . I had the intention to forgive him, but he showed no indication of any self-reflection and is damaging my image even now. I decided I could no longer condone this."
The sentence due date for Mr. Park will be on July 4.
