The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

In light of the relevant legal principles and evidence, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on “a false fact” under Article 250(2) of the Act on Promotion of the Use of Information and Communications Network and Information Protection, Etc., and the standard for determining whether there was a false perception of the existence of a false fact, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, in the lower judgment that found the Defendant guilty of the facts charged in the instant case on the grounds stated in its reasoning.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
