1. The plaintiff's claim is dismissed.

2. The costs of lawsuit shall be borne by the Plaintiff.

Reasons

1. Details of the disposition;

A. On October 29, 2016, the Plaintiff entered the Republic of Korea with a short-term visit (C-3) status on a short-term stay on October 29, 2016, and applied for refugee recognition to the Defendant on November 24, 2016.

B. On February 15, 2017, the Defendant rendered a decision on the recognition of refugee status (hereinafter “instant disposition”) to the Plaintiff on the ground that the Plaintiff’s assertion does not constitute a case of “a well-founded fear that would be subject to persecution” as a requirement of refugee under Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees and Article 1 of the Protocol on the Status of Refugees.

C. On February 17, 2017, the Plaintiff filed an objection with the Minister of Justice, but the said objection was dismissed on the same ground as on July 18, 2017.

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The Plaintiff’s assertion was admitted to and withdrawn from a confidential organization called Allar (ALAKO). Members of the aforementioned confidential organization are threatening to kill the Plaintiff on the ground that the Plaintiff was aware of the organization’s secrets.

B. 1) Determination 1) “Refugee” means a foreigner who is unable or does not want to be protected due to well-founded fear that he/she may be harmed on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a specific social group, or political opinion, or a stateless foreigner who, due to such fear, is unable or does not want to return to the country in which he/she resided before entering the Republic of Korea (Article 2 Subparag. 1). 2 of the Refugee Act), or a stateless foreigner who does not want to return to the country in which he/she had resided before entering the Republic of Korea (Article 2 Subparag. 1). 2 of the Refugee Act), which serves as
