2. Determination as to the claim

A. Since there is no dispute between the parties to the portion of the above fee and the payment obligation equivalent to the total of KRW 16,748,389, the defendant is obligated to pay the above money to the plaintiff.

B. (1) The above 20 million won of the Plaintiff’s assertion is a security deposit to secure the Defendant’s damages due to the Plaintiff’s breach of contract or tort pursuant to Article 4 of the instant agency contract. Since the instant agency contract was terminated by the delivery of the copy of the instant complaint as the Defendant’s breach of contract, the Defendant is obligated to return the said money to the Plaintiff.

(2) It is recognized that the instant agency contract contains a clause setting up security (Article 4) and that there was no Plaintiff’s provision of security based on the said provision.

However, the plaintiff asserts that the agency contract of this case was terminated by delivery of a copy of complaint, although there is no dispute between the parties or when adding the purport of the entire argument to the statement No. 5 (including the paper number).
