I can’t speak to Korean law, but this seems like a real stupid take. Actors are different from their characters. You can’t damage a character because they aren’t real.
In a lot of places you can be sued for defaming a company brand, though. This seems similar to that.
You can be sued for defamation regardless of the target, as long as you damaged their reputation with false statements. It’s a lot easier to prove damages against a company than a regular person though.
