Article 307 of the Criminal Code states that in order for defamation and Article 311 for insult to be established, they must have both publicity and specificity, and the object must be a natural person or a legal entity.
In some overseas countries, including the United States and Germany, there have been instances where ASI itself was granted legal personality.
This was intended to address financial crimes and fraud utilizing ASI as a shield for unclear responsibility.
However, under Korean civil law, ASI is still treated only as a person’s property.
Then, the other aspect requires asserting rights as a “natural person,” which was no easy task.
A legal natural person is described as a human being who is born with a biological body, breathes, and engages in metabolic activities.
According to this definition, Adella did not conform to being a natural person, but her status could become a contested issue depending on the existence of the brain map.
“It is presumed that Adella has a foundation for life activities unlike other ASIs. If that can be convincingly proven through the blueprint of the brain map, she could be considered like a patient with ‘locked-in syndrome’ who possesses consciousness but cannot respond to external stimuli due to full body paralysis,” Professor Cheon conveyed as he looked back and forth between his phone and me.
“Did your dad originally have such excellent legal knowledge?”
I asked, amazed by the barrage of information that flowed effortlessly.
Professor Cheon shook his head and showed me his text messages.
“My younger sibling.”
[Post on being sued by NoName (verified)]
(Investigation results notification – suspect, no prosecution.jpg)
This is the notice of non-prosecution I received last month.
Yes, I was that much-talked-about target on NoName’s whitelist!
Fortunately, the complainant did not file an objection, so I was able to slip away unscathed.
(Overwhelming gratitude meme)
I truly felt as if I had entered and exited hell.
Putting that aside, the reason I decided to write now is because a friend of mine is soon being dragged to a formal trial (court), and they shared their experiences with me.
That guy is from a wealthy family, and he went there with big-name law firm attorneys for a simple case of prostitution.
Well, it’s not just any ordinary prostitution case; it has allegations of child abuse tied to it under the Youth Protection Act, so I can understand that to some extent.
However, the attorney for the complainant is a somewhat famous person, which scares the hell out of him.
[Litigation Representative: Attorney Cheon Jeong-ho]
Isn’t it funny that he shares the same name as the prosecutor who threw all the Valpur guys in jail?
I had heard that the attorneys at that firm might also have the same name, but unsurprisingly…

Lol good luck!
So what is life?

– What did you say to NoName to get sued? You almost became a complete wastoid.
└ I used to insult him by saying he seemed like an addict immersed in a game. Luckily, my insults were low-level, so I’m safe. I was lucky.
– Right? Saying “fck” is fine, but saying “btch” gets you caught.
└ Learning valuable life lessons again today~
└ Just don’t leave malicious comments!
– As far as I remember, didn’t NoName get thrown out because of you?
└ But why did you end up connected to NoName? Lol
└ Apparently, on the family register, NoName is my uncle.
└ Oh my…!
– No one can predict the future.
– I acknowledge the kind backing.
Cheon Jeong-ho, who failed to enhance his 9-card prosecutor status, fell to being a bum in his home.
His daughter went abroad for studies, and his son, a medical student, kept busy with his daily life.
In the end, it was just the couple living together in a house.
Husbands in South Korea could empathize, but if they spent three meals a day eating at home all week, they would soon feel their wife’s wrath.
Though he didn’t complain, he certainly didn’t speak candidly either.
“Why don’t you go out and exercise?”
Pushed by pressure, Cheon Jeong-ho decided to take up a hobby.
He tried joining a cycling club and even signed up for a gym he had never used before.
Occasionally, when Cheon Kyujin sent him a list of NoName’s haters, he willingly took on lawsuits for them, but compared to his work at the prosecutor’s office, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
His inherent workaholic disposition wasn’t going to disappear easily.
It wasn’t that there were no law firms calling for him, so it was around the time he was considering building a new life as a lawyer again.
[Cheon Kyujin: Let’s work on one thing together.]
“Whoa, that surprised me. I thought it was my brother sending it… You can’t joke like that with an adult.”
The prime culprit behind ruining Cheon Jeong-ho’s once smooth career.
NaeMe sent a text to Cheon Jeong-ho, impersonating her father from Cheon Kyujin’s phone.
Meeting in a quiet cafe, the two seemed awkwardly captured in one frame.
“If we didn’t do this, you wouldn’t come out, right? The prosecutor is scared of our dad.”
“Dad…?”
“Oh right. You’re not a prosecutor anymore.”
Veins popped on Cheon Jeong-ho’s forehead.
‘Who do you think is making me do this right now?’
Yet, he couldn’t genuinely get angry at a young child.
When judging right and wrong, NaeMe had zero stake, and the actual bad guys were the immortals training in seclusion up there.
His gaze shifted back to the documents in NaeMe’s hands.
“I heard you sued a thousand of my haters? Thanks for your help.”
Shshsh…
NaeMe’s gaze remained fixed on the documents.
Cheon Jeong-ho nodded and sipped his coffee.
“Your dad has become completely doting. He gets anxious because he can’t torment me.”
“Since he’s free anyway, could you spare a bit more time?”
“So, what’s this about?”
“Of course, I came to seek legal advice. Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to check on my health.”
Because of NaeMe’s audacity, he couldn’t scold her directly.
Especially with her backing from a war mage father, NaeMe was practically invincible.
“This is the chat log I received from WearSoft. Would you take a look?”
NaeMe handed him the documents.
[I don’t recognize the past. I only remember.]
[I’m done here. If you want to meet me, defeat Mephisto.]
“So? Who’s Mephisto?”
“Mephistopheles is a boss mob in WolOa. This is information obtained by defeating Mephisto.”
[Mephistopheles’s Memoir – 100% (Complete!)]
[4, 35, 38, 20, 14, 63, 63, 13, 35, 31, 5]
“And this is the interpretation result.”
[35°38’20” N, 139°35’31” E]
[Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan, 4-chōme (丁目) 23-19, Seijō Mitsuke House]
“Setagaya-ku…”
Cheon Jeong-ho’s eyes narrowed.
“I was the one who reported this first.”
“NoName, you?”
“Then this code might be a distress signal… No, considering the timing of the victim’s death, it might not fit, so this could be a testimony from the original subject that has become ASI.”
After a brief moment of contemplation, Cheon Jeong-ho opened his mouth again.
“Hmm… What if someone else manipulated the ASI to expose this?”
Is it possible someone with knowledge of the case manipulated the ASI for whistleblowing?
Cheon Jeong-ho was asking about that point.
“For now, it probably wouldn’t be from WearSoft.”
“Why not?”
“If that were the case, someone would have exposed it long ago. WearSoft is presently gearing up for their subsidiary’s IPO, so they are reluctant about even mentioning their company. How desperate must they be to send me chat logs like this? If there were anyone, it would be Ophelia…”
“Seems that’s also unlikely.”
“Yes. By now, since all the employees have been taken into custody, if someone had actually done the coding, they would have wished for leniency.”
“Then are you saying that ASI did this of its own accord? That’s hard to believe.”
“Even if that’s not the case, making it a fact is our objective.”
“Our?”
NaeMe reached out and flipped a page of the documents.
She tilted her head, her serene eyes giving a bright smile.
“Aren’t you going to help us? It’s just a simple case of defamation and insult. Compared to the cases you’ve handled, this is really nothing. Oh right, you’re no longer a prosecutor, right?”
Once again, NaeMe’s eyes, which dug at his wounds, curled like a crescent moon.
Cheon Jeong-ho took a deep breath and looked at NaeMe.
‘This kid is not unaware of the implications of this lawsuit. Rather, she knows it properly.’
On the surface, it seemed to be only making reporters pay a fine of 500,000 won, but taking a closer look reveals that it was a lawsuit aiming for ‘fundamental human rights.’
Moreover, there were many contentious points to grapple with.
‘The fact that the victim was unfairly sacrificed in the creation of ASI. The self-logical reasoning of ASI. Clarifying the brain map function and establishing the philosophical legal perspective of artificial brains.’
What a situation where the belly is bigger than the belly button.
Cheon Jeong-ho sighed internally.
The presiding judge for this case would probably be in quite a quandary.
“It’s going to be a tough journey.”
NaeMe puffed out her cheeks and responded dismissively.
“Black people took a whole 103 years from the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 to gain voting rights in 1965. If you’re going to give up just because it’s hard, you shouldn’t have started in the first place.”
“Good talk.”
“Will you take it on?”
“Sure. But remember that precedents always reflect the changing circumstances of the times and the public understanding. Understand that things may not go your way, NaeMe.”
“If it comes to that… I’ll have to be prepared to commit a crime.”
“What?”
NaeMe smiled.
“For instance… Judge, I didn’t do it, my cat did it! What are you doing, Attorney Cheon? You’re not a prosecutor anymore, so you have to defend me at this timing. Don’t cause friendly fire.”
NaeMe was already someone more accustomed to living without law.
Could she act according to her heart like Confucius without conflicting with the law?
Or simply because there was not a single person around her to stop her even if she broke the law.
“I hope it doesn’t come to that for now.”

Contrary to Cheon Jeong-ho’s concerns, the public’s gaze was favorable.
[Tears of Artificial Intelligence that Shocked the World. Human or Robot?]
– What kind of ASI test is that? Lol, these cult groups need to know their limits.
– I bet 99% of humans can’t do that.
– In my life, I’ve seen AI cry by itself.
– It’s really so beautiful.
– Adella is not AI, she’s a human clone. She just doesn’t have a body.
– Isn’t she just a person with memory loss?
– Adella, don’t cry! We will protect you!
[Ophelia executives admit some allegations, is WearSoft not responsible?]
– These guys really took a person and made them an NPC; it’s horrifying.
– If you outsource, you need someone to supervise the outsourcing.
– Just an assembly factory ^^.
– Look at them preparing for an IPO with such audacity; does the CEO have no mouth?
– Then what about Adella’s adult content that’s been posted on Hitomi or Pixiv?
– ?
– ?
“Ahhhhhh! Sue them! Sue all of them immediately! I won’t let this go! Don’t get me started on NTR, that crossed the line!”
Adella was rampaging.
This was because Adella had become the target of NTR in a comic about herself.
“Is the pure love okay?”
Suddenly, NaeMe asked.
“That’s tolerable.”
“What about GL?”
“Even that…”
“What about BL?”
“I’m a woman, you know?”
“Huh? It definitely said you were a man here…”
“NaeMe, what are you doing!? You’re too young to see this! Close your eyes!”
