How Jang Won-young’s Cyberbully Got Caught: The Talduk Camp Takedown

1. Unmasking the Cyber Wrecker Behind Jang Won-young’s Torment 

 In a gripping episode of tvN’s *You Quiz on the Block* on April 9, 2025, attorney Jung Kyung-seok shared the story of how he brought down the operator of ‘Talduk Camp,’ a notorious YouTube channel infamous for spreading malicious fake news about idols, including IVE’s Jang Won-young. Host Yoo Jae-suk kicked off the conversation, marveling, “I thought catching someone like this was impossible back in the day.” Jung agreed, noting that tracking down anonymous cyber wreckers once seemed futile due to their hidden identities and the legal blind spots they exploited. The Jang Won-young cyberbullying case, however, became a game-changer. Jung revealed how the culprits taunted victims with a smug “Go ahead, sue me,” assuming they were untouchable—until he proved otherwise. 

2. Cracking the YouTuber Lawsuit with Global Cooperation

The breakthrough in the Talduk Camp case hinged on international persistence. Yoo Jae-suk asked, “Didn’t you need Google’s U.S. headquarters to step in?” Jung nodded, explaining that while local branches deflected requests, claiming no access to user data, a U.S. court order forced Google’s hand. After consulting American law firms and securing that order, Jung’s team served notice through Google, prompting the channel’s panicked deletion the same day. But the fight didn’t end there. Google retained account details, allowing Jung to uncover the operator’s name and address—though initially, two names and addresses surfaced, sparking doubts about their authenticity. By cross-checking with South Korean resident records, he confirmed the suspect’s identity, a triumph that left him exhilarated: “I finally dragged this shadowy figure into court.”

3. Justice Served: Prison, Profits Seized, and a Warning to Cyberbullies 

The YouTuber lawsuit concluded with a resounding victory. The court sentenced the Talduk Camp operator to two years in prison with three years of probation, a landmark ruling in the fight against online harassment. Jung didn’t stop there—he uncovered that the channel’s profits had funded a villa purchase and alerted authorities to seize those ill-gotten gains. With a provisional attachment in place, the perpetrator might now have to sell the property or take out loans to cover damages owed to victims like Jang Won-young. This case sends a clear message: cyberbullies hiding behind screens aren’t beyond justice. For fans and advocates alike, it’s a rare win against the dark side of the internet, proving that determination and legal savvy can pierce even the toughest anonymity.
