1.The judgment of the first instance shall be modified as follows:

The defendant shall pay to the plaintiff KRW 449,00 on October 2, 2014.

Reasons

1. Judgment on the main defense of this case

A. The gist of the parties’ assertion (1) The Defendant asserts to the effect that the Plaintiff’s lawsuit in this case is unlawful, since it filed an application for bankruptcy and exemption with the Incheon District Court No. 2014, 967, 2014Hadan968, which became final and conclusive upon receipt of the exemption decision on September 30, 2014.

(2) On February 26, 2014, the Plaintiff received liquor equivalent to KRW 449,00,00 from the Plaintiff and did not pay the price.

Meanwhile, “a claim which is not entered in the list of creditors in bad faith” referred to in Article 566 proviso 7 of the Debtor Rehabilitation Act refers to a case where a debtor fails to enter it in the list of creditors with knowledge of the existence of obligations to a bankruptcy creditor before the decision for immunity is made. Therefore, if the debtor fails to know the existence of an obligation:
