Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. The defendant did not operate a loan as a business, and even if the defendant was a non-registered credit service provider, he did not receive interest at a rate exceeding 30% per annum, so the court below erred by misunderstanding the facts and affecting the conclusion of the judgment.

B. The lower court’s sentence (5 million won of fine) imposed on the Defendant is too unreasonable.
