Baek Ji Young, known to kdrama fans as "The Queen of the Ost," was recently awarded partial damages in her second lawsuit against a plastic surgery clinic. The lawsuit sought financial damages because her photograph was used without her permission to advertise plastic surgery services.

In this case, the Seoul Central District Court ordered the surgeon to pay Baek Ji Young $3,600 for using photographs of her in a bikini to promote his liposuction services. The photos were taken without permission from her online shopping site.  The singer had originally asked for ten times the amount of the financial award, but the court lowered the damages to $3,600.

Only last month, Baek Ji Young and actress Nam Gyuri also won partial damages in a similar case because their photos were used to promote another cosmetic surgery clinic. In that case, the Seoul Central District Court awarded each actress about $4,000 in damages.

"Using their photos without consent could diminish the value of their work as models," ruled the court.
