It’s important to note that defamation laws in Korea are very different from those in the United States and many other countries. Of particular note is the fact that defamation can still be claimed even if facts are used in the related statements, and the fact that the aggrieved party need only show that the statements hurt its reputation and that allegations were made publicly (i.e., widely available to many people).

What the fuck, that’s draconian. “You publicly stated factual information and it hurt my business!”
