Streamer Juice Seyeon Wins Lawsuit Against YouTuber Who Accused Her Of Prostitution

According to a December 19 exclusive report by Seoul Wire, controversial streamer Juice Seyeon has won a lawsuit against a YouTube creator who spread false claims involving her and HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk.

Earlier in August this year, Juice Seyeon was spotted with Bang in Beverley Hills, Los Angeles, sparking a huge scandal. Despite HYBE’s statement claiming the two met coincidentally, numerous speculations arose. While some accused Bang of being her “sponsor,” others speculated that the two might be “lovers.”

During this scandal, a YouTuber posted a video claiming that Juice Seyeon had traveled to Las Vegas with Bang and that she was an online prostitute. The streamer raised an issue with these claims, calling them out as false.

Juice Seyeon claimed that these false rumors had caused her severe emotional distress and loss of business opportunities, filing a civil lawsuit against the YouTuber in the Seoul Central District Court. The case, however, got stalled as the YouTuber’s identity was not public. So, the streamer filed a separate lawsuit in a U.S. court requesting access to the individual’s personal information.

On December 17, Judge Beth Labson of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled in favor of Seyeon, allowing her to access relevant information from Google to identify the video uploader. She’s expected to pursue full-fledged legal action moving forward.

Meanwhile, the scandalous photograph brought Juice Seyeon significant mainstream attention, leading her to appear as a guest on a popular YouTube talk show. She gave a detailed account of her meeting with Bang Si Hyuk, which you can read more about right here.
