The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

B. The lower court erred by misapprehending the legal doctrine, as it did each of the instant acts for the public interest of the divided owners B, is dismissed.

(c)

The punishment sentenced by the court below which is unfair in sentencing (five million won in penalty) is too unreasonable.
