After discovering a spouse’s affair, the desire to expose it on social media or to acquaintances is understandable, but legally it involves serious risks. Even stating the facts can constitute defamation (Article 307 of the Criminal Act), and revealing the other person’s private messages or photos can lead to violations of the Information and Communications Network Act.

The compensation for emotional distress recognized by the court is typically in the range of 30 million to 50 million won, and if the act of exposure itself is judged to have contributed to the breakdown of the marriage, you may instead be deemed the spouse at fault. Rather than reacting emotionally, securing evidence and seeking protection through legal procedures is the practical strategy.
