According to the provisions, the person, other than an attorney-at-law, receives or promises to receive money, valuables, entertainment or other benefits, or provides or promises to provide it to a third party, shall be punished.

However, in comparison with the former provisions, the participation in the procedure in the process of investigating or coordinating the rights and duties or legal relations of a private person in the public law or private law is in the position of an attorney-at-law dealing with legal affairs.

According to the relevant provisions of the Act on Appraisal and Assessment, the Korea Appraisal and Assessment Board is a corporation engaged in the appraisal business for objects of appraisal, and it can be seen that not only the owner of objects but also the third party may request the appraisal of real estate.
