According to court filings, the account in question posted damaging remarks on March 8, March 15, and May 24 of this year. The posts accused Felix of “treating staff like servants” and “acting like a prince,” statements his legal team insists were entirely false. His lawyers explained that these lies brought him mental distress, physical strain, and harm to his public image.
While Felix had already filed a defamation lawsuit in the Seoul Eastern District Court, the proceedings stalled because the identity and address of the user could not be determined. That hurdle led his team to file in the United States, where Judge Beth Labson Freeman granted permission under 28 U.S.C. 1782, a statute that allows international cooperation in gathering evidence.
The court emphasized that Felix’s request was reasonable and targeted only at the information required to identify the account owner. Judge Freeman also highlighted the urgency of accessing recent login data, since platforms typically delete user records within a few months.

With the ruling in place, Felix’s legal team can now subpoena X (formerly Twitter) for details such as the individual’s name, date of birth, phone number, and login history. His lawyer in Seoul, Jeong Gyeong-seok of Lee Law Firm, noted that combining these identifiers with local telecom or government records would be enough to uncover the real identity of the defamer.
The U.S. court reached its decision within just two days of filing, giving Felix fresh momentum as he returns to the Seoul Eastern District Court to pursue his civil defamation case. The outcome may serve as a warning to those who think anonymity can shield malicious behavior online.
its so good
