2. The assertion and judgment

A. The Plaintiff asserted that when entering into an investment contract with the Defendants, the Plaintiff agreed to return the investment amount if not paying more than 1/3 of the investment amount until March 30, 2016, and the agreed proceeds did not accrue until the said date. Therefore, the Defendants asserted that the Plaintiff is liable to return the investment amount of KRW 75,500,000 paid to the Defendants.

B. As seen earlier, in preparing an investment contract on August 31, 2015, the Plaintiff and the Defendants decided to return the investment amount if not less than 1/3 of the investment amount is paid or no profit is paid by March 30, 2016, as alleged by the Plaintiff, but on October 28, 2015, when preparing an investment contract again on October 28, 2015, the said provision of the return agreement is deleted and the said agreement becomes null and void prior to that date. The Plaintiff’s claim for return is based on an invalid investment contract, and thus, cannot be accepted.
