The above fine shall not be paid by the defendant.

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A.

Article 71 (1) 2 of the Child Welfare Act provides that a person who falls under any of subparagraphs 3 through 8 of Article 17 of the Child Welfare Act shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than five years or by a fine not exceeding 50 million won.

On the other hand, Article 17 of the Child Welfare Act is a prohibited act against children, No. 3.
