A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for four months.

2. We examine ex officio prior to the judgment on the grounds for appeal.

A. According to Article 63(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act, when the dwelling, office, and present position of the defendant are unknown, public notice may be served. Articles 23 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings, and Articles 18 and 19 of the Rules on Special Cases Concerning Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings do not apply to cases falling under death penalty or imprisonment with or without prison labor for more than ten years in the first instance trial proceedings, the court of first instance provides that, when the location of the defendant is not verified by six months after the receipt of the report on impossibility of service to the defendant, the service to the defendant shall be served by public notice.

Therefore, if the defendant's office telephone number or mobile phone number on the record shows, it is necessary to see the attempt to confirm the place to be served with the above telephone number and to see it. The delivery by the method of public disclosure without taking such measures is not permitted as it violates Article 63 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Act and Article 23 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings.
