On September 15, 2012, the Plaintiff was subcontracted to KRW 66,440,00 as the price for the D Legal Area Readjustment Project (hereinafter “instant Corporation”) from C Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Nonindicted Company”) for KRW 66,40,00.

At the time of the above subcontract, Defendant A was the representative director of the non-party company, and Defendant B was the shareholder of the non-party company.

Since then, the Plaintiff intended to discontinue the above construction work due to the difficulties in managing the Nonparty Company’s business, but Defendant B requested the Plaintiff to “I will be individually responsible for the construction work,” and the Plaintiff continued to accept it and continue the construction work.

The Plaintiff completed the above construction work on October 30, 2012, and only KRW 44,395,000 out of the construction price was paid by the Nonparty Company.
