Cho Kuk Faces Class Action Lawsuit for Psychological Damages
I don’t like the corrupt Cho Kuk either, but this lawsuit seems pretty frivolous to me:
Former Justice Minister Cho Kuk was sued Tuesday by 1,618 individuals for inflicting what the plaintiffs have called psychological damages “caused by Cho’s lies and illegal activities.”

In the class-action lawsuit, filed at the Seoul Central District Court, the plaintiffs demand compensation of 1 million won ($900) per person from Cho, claiming that his actions caused them “depression, hair loss, insomnia, rage-related disorders, suicidal tendencies and anger management issues.”
Lawyer Kim So-yeon, a member of the opposition People Power Party (PPP) who represents the plaintiffs, asked people in September to join the lawsuit through a link on her Facebook page where she wrote, “I am pursuing a class-action lawsuit due to requests from many people who have suffered extreme stress and even developed illnesses due to Cho’s numerous lies regarding his private equity fund, his daughter’s academic fraud and his son’s university admission.”
You can read more at the link, but the article says that the lawsuit will likely not even get a hearing.
Crooked commie moon judge will probably have the plaintiffs pay Cho Guk damages for this lawsuit.
OTOH, Moon & Associates will have a list…

My prediction:
Cho is 30% responsible and the plaintiffs are 70% responsible.
LOL “Deep pockets”…
The interesting thing about the lawyer who is pursuing the class action suit, is that she was previously a Daejon City Councilwoman and was part of the Democratic Party of Korea.
However she was kicked out of the party after she publicly accused a senior DPK politician of demanding that she make a contribution to a political fund in return for her getting elected.
She later joined the conservatives but as of now has not been elected to office.
Although I am not a fan of Cho Kuk and is of the opinion that Moon began the end of his presidency by pushing for Cho Kuk despite his corruption allegations, I can’t help but think that this lawsuit is a stunt by Kim to win points among the PPP leadership and/or get even with the DPK.
