Defamation under the Criminal Act is defined in Article 307 of the Criminal Act as ‘a crime committed by defaming a person by openly stating facts or false facts.’ Here, the subject of honor includes natural persons, corporations, as well as other organizations. In addition, 'overtly' refers to a state that can be recognized by an unspecified or large number of people, and 'damage' does not necessarily require actual infringement of reputation, and precedents interpret it as creating a risk of lowering social evaluation.
