Based on the court's ruling, this case manipulated public opinion by clicking 88.4 million clicks on either sympathy or dislike on 1.18 million comments. The one used at this time was a comment manipulation program called King Crab, and it was Drooking and Kim Dong-won who led it. Kim was sentenced to three years in prison and was released from prison in March. The special prosecutor saw that Governor Kim Kyung-soo had conspired with Druking to manipulate public opinion, but the biggest issue in the trial was whether or not Governor Kim saw the demonstration of King Crab, a manipulation program. After four years of investigation and trial, the Supreme Court today (21st) concluded that the two people's collusion relationship was recognized.

On November 9, 2016, Governor Kim Kyung-soo visited Druking Kim Dong-won's Paju office.



Special Prosecutor Heo Ik-beom raised the fact that Governor Kim watched a king crab demonstration here as the core evidence of an accomplice in comment manipulation.



However, Governor Kim did not see the king crab demonstration and presented the receipt of the chicken ribs as evidence, saying that he ate with the members.



It is claimed that there was no physical time to watch the demonstration because they wrapped up the chicken ribs and ate dinner with people, and the briefing continued for an hour.



However, the court of appeals found that Governor Kim did not have dinner on November 9th.



At the time when Governor Kim claims to have received the briefing, it seems that the briefing has already ended and the king crab demonstration has been held.



He also said that it seems that Governor Kim had eaten together during his previous visit.



Today (21st), the Supreme Court also confirmed this judgment of the lower court.



In addition, we also accepted the judgment that an accomplice relationship is established in that Governor Kim did not raise any objection even though Druking Kim sent the comments to Governor Kim after the demonstration and reported that the King Crab was 98% complete.



When the special prosecutor's investigation began in 2018, Governor Kim was unfairly accused of being a victim of a conspiracy theory.
