YouTuber Aori (real name Kim Min-young, 35) announced that she has taken legal action against malicious comments directed at her.

On September 3, Aori revealed through her social media that she is currently proceeding with legal action against malicious commenters. A captured image of the supplementary opinion statement from her legal representative showed a table summarizing the original posts in question and specific expressions categorized under charges of insult.

According to the released details, the problematic posts contained numerous raw, misogynistic slurs targeting her past divorce, such as "old hag divorcee," "expired old hag who is divorced," and "obsolete piece of trash."

Revealing this list of malicious comments, Aori left star and tear emojis along with the phrase "periodically for a healthy internet culture," signaling her intention to continue taking legal action against malicious comments moving forward.

Meanwhile, Aori went through a divorce in January 2023. In July, Aori revealed through social media that she started a romantic relationship with Kim Hyung-bae, an oriental medicine doctor two years her junior. The two have reportedly already completed family meetings with both sets of parents.
