This man was sentenced to 1 year imprisonment and 2 years probation as well as community service for 200 hours.

This man claimed that Lee Young-ae stole pine trees and streetlamps from his property.

However, the pine trees weren't stolen and just moved from one spot to another.

In addition, the streetlamps on his property were taken illegally onto his property so he faces a fine of 2 million won.

Lee Young-ae had nothing to do with this.

The court said, "There was no truth in the man's statement and probation was sentenced because he has no criminal history.
