Former KBS anchor No Hyung-jung and her husband Chung Dae-sun on Wednesday filed a law suit against a news website that incorrectly reported that the couple had divorced. They are seeking W500 million in damages (US$1=W929).

On Friday the couple filed libel charges against the same website.

"The couple is suing the head of the news website, the chief editor and the reporter who wrote the article for W500 million in damages," said ACE Law Group, which represents the couple.

The law firm said if No and her husband win the suit they will donate the compensation to an organization or a civic group that works for people who have been hurt by false media reports.

The website reported on Nov. 13 that No divorced her husband in July.
