2. The parties' assertion

A. The Plaintiff’s assertion is liable to pay the Plaintiff the construction cost of KRW 100,000,000 and the damages for delay as claimed by the Plaintiff, in accordance with the agreement that Nonparty C shall directly pay to the Plaintiff the obligation to pay the construction cost owed by Nonparty C to the Plaintiff.

B. According to the Defendant’s assertion ① According to the instant agreement, the amount that the Defendant agreed to pay to the above C is the Plaintiff’s price for civil engineering works on the instant land against Nonparty C, and there is no ground to view that the amount that the said C agreed to pay to the Plaintiff pursuant to the Plaintiff’s evidence No. 1 constitutes construction cost

Therefore, there is no obligation for the Defendant to directly pay KRW 100 million to the Plaintiff (hereinafter “instant Chapter 1”). ② Since the Defendant prepared and delivered the instant agreement based on the Plaintiff’s coercion, it is stated in the said agreement.
