The core issue of this trial was whether Governor Kim Gyeong-soo saw the demonstration of a comment manipulation program called'King Crab' as in the first trial.

Governor Kim Gyeong-soo presented new circumstances in the second trial, claiming that Governor Kim had never seen it, but the court did not accept it.



Reporter Lim Chan-jong will explain the reason.

As soon as the sentence began, the judge stated that the “king crab demonstration” was a key issue.



In order for Governor Governor Kim Gyeong-su to conspire to manipulate comments with Drooking, it must be acknowledged that Drooking met Governor Kim alone on the evening of November 9, 2016 to demonstrate King Crab, a comment manipulation program.



It is clear that the King Crab started at 8:07 p.m. on November 9, when Governor Kim visited the office according to Drooking's smartphone record.



So, what Governor Kim was doing at this point in time is the key.



Governor Kim's side insisted in the second trial that they ate chicken ribs packaged at a nearby restaurant by 7:40 pm on the same day with several people at the Drooking office.



After the meal, the lectures and briefings attended by Governor Kim and others continued for about an hour.



But the judge did not accept it.



Several attendees stated that the lectures and briefings were between 7 and 8 o'clock, and some attendees commented at around 8:10, so they said that they had no choice but to say that the lectures and briefings were over around 8 o'clock.



In light of the fact that Drew King reported to Governor Kim that day, there was a mention of King Crab, and text messages exchanged by King Crab developers a few days later also reported that King Crab was reported to Governor Kim. Several people said that they had seen it as credible.



It was judged by the court that the consensus statements and digital evidence indicated by those involved were more certain than the circumstances presented by Governor Kim.
