The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

1. The gist of the grounds for appeal is that of the lower court’s punishment of KRW 1.5 million (a fine of KRW 1.5 million) is too unreasonable.

2. The circumstances are favorable to the defendant, such as the fact that the defendant repents his wrong and reflects his fault, the amount of money and valuables provided by the defendant is KRW 100,000,000 and the frequency of offering money and valuables is limited to one time, and there is no criminal power against the defendant.

However, although the defendant is in the position of a village head who is responsible for endeavoring to ensure fair elections in a neutral position, he/she performed an election campaign and made an act of contribution by directly requesting support for a specific candidate on the day of advance polling, without recognizing his/her status, and he/she is bound to take responsibility corresponding thereto.
