So Mali's Defense Attorney
"I am reflecting deeply, and since the level of business obstruction is relatively minor and the victims of the fabricated video content do not wish for punishment"

Somali's lawyer: "Somali was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in the US, but this happened because she couldn't take her medication after coming to Korea"

Lawyer for So Mali's side: "We didn't gain any financial benefit from this incident, and we won't do the same thing again"

I'll think about this really carefully and deeply—just wait, okay? ^^~~~
Honestly, I'd want them deported, but that'd probably blow things up, so I'm hoping for like 5 years in jail.
LMAOOO we're not gonna nah expel them—we're gonna lock this idiot up~
lmaooo after all that drama he's finally saying sorry? 💀 i'll believe it when i see actual change
Yeah, like they didn't say 'we'll make sure this never happens again'—they're asking how to deal with what's already done, you morons
Seems like they're still far from getting their act together though??
Plot twist: he deletes this video in 48 hours and goes back to being controversial for the clout 🍿
Looks like most victims didn't sign off on dropping charges. Combined with how casually they're dodging punishment and making excuses, they'll probably do it again. If there's room for a trial, drag it out for a long time and definitely hit them with punishment. Like instead of 3 years, do 2 years and 11 months or something. If you drag the trial out like 5 more years, that'd probably balance out, right?
What are YOU gonna do about it? LMAOOO
This guy went from causing chaos to playing victim real quick, classic internet arc honestly
Nah I'm not buying it, these apologies never last more than a week before they're back to the same stuff
Respect for at least acknowledging he messed up, but the damage was already done my guy
