According to reports on January 23, Sojang filed an injunction to stop the execution of the court’s ruling. The reports state that the move signals Sojang’s intentions of fighting the ruling.

In most cases, if a defendant files an appeal against a ruling within 2 weeks, the court’s decision is not executed; however, if the court judges a provisional execution is warranted, the plaintiff can still enforce the ruling. Sojang’s move is seen as an attempt to stop this and shows the YouTuber may fight the court’s ruling.
