2. Determination:

A. According to the above facts, the defendant is obligated to pay to each of the above loans amounting to 6,875,000 won (27,50,000 won x 1/4) equivalent to the plaintiffs' shares in inheritance among each of the above loans and (1) loans amounting to 5,000,000 won (20,000 won x 1/4) above x 18% per annum under the agreement from November 2, 2010 to the date of full payment (2) loans amounting to 1,875,000 won (2,50,000 won x 1/4) x 1/4 5% per annum from the day following the day of delivery of complaint of this case to November 9, 2015, and to pay damages for delay calculated by 5% per annum from the day of full payment as stipulated by the Civil Act. < Amended by Presidential Decree No. 26591, Nov. 2, 2015>

B. The defendant's assertion (1) is a defense that the defendant repaid each of the above loans over around 2007 and 2008. However, it is not sufficient to acknowledge the above assertion only with the statement of evidence Nos. 6 and 7. The witness G's testimony is difficult to be easily believed, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge it. Thus, the defendant's defense of repayment is without merit.

(2) In addition, the Defendant’s borrowing of each of the above loans as a merchant operating its retail store is a commercial activity for raising funds for retail store operation, and thus, the five-year extinctive prescription is complete.
