The Plaintiff, among the instant construction works, agreed to complete the construction of concrete building works on December 31, 2015, but delayed construction works on February 17, 2016, including completing the construction works. Accordingly, the entire schedule of the said newly constructed construction works was considerably delayed.

In addition, as the Plaintiff delays the payment of the construction price to its subcontractors from time to time, there frequently occurred the situation where the subcontractors were refusing to perform the instant construction work, and upon the Plaintiff’s request to the Defendant for a direct payment of the construction price to the subcontractors, the Defendant drafted a direct payment agreement on KRW 35,443,320 for three enterprises, including the Plaintiff, D, E, and F, around April 5, 2016, and paid the Defendant a direct payment agreement on KRW 35,443,320.
