Ex officio determination: (a) under Article 63(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act, if the dwelling, office, or present address of a defendant is unknown, service by public notice may be made; and (b) Articles 23 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings and Articles 18 and 19 of the Rules on Special Cases Concerning Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings provide that in the trial of the court of first instance, if the whereabouts of the defendant is not confirmed within six months after receipt of a report on the failure to serve on the defendant, even though the investigation of location, commission of arrest, issuance of arrest warrants, or other necessary measures were taken in order to verify the whereabouts of the defendant, service by public notice is not made.
