Attorney Noh Jong-eon, the representative lawyer at the law firm Jonjae, came to defend the bereaved family of the late Goo Hara in the Choi Jong-bum case as the legal representative of Goo Hara's older brother.

The Choi Jong-bum trial concerns charges of assault, threats, property damage, coercion, and more. Among them, one of the important issues was 'illegal footage'.​

Choi Jong-bum threatened the late Goo Hara by sending her illegal footage twice, and he also tried to send illegal footage to the media outlet Dispatch.

Public trust in rulings on sex crimes is gradually declining because of several cases. As sex-crime and illegal filming cases involving famous entertainers such as the Nth Room case, Jung Joon-young, Choi Jong-hoon, and Kang Ji-hwan continue to occur, it is questionable whether proper rulings will be made in the future.

​

I hope that, in keeping with the times, courts will make judgments with the proper sense of gender awareness so that victims of sex crimes do not suffer secondary harm.
