I went on naver and checked out some websites. There were some comments under the articles that were sympathising with him, but most comments were pretty negative, like they didn't liked the fact that he was sentenced to 1year in prison and they were like blaming the court and judges for being lenient on him. Most of the comments suggested that he should spent more time in jail...
Anyways, you can check the article and the comments through this link
