2. Determination on the cause of the claim

A. As to the claim for the return of deposit, the Plaintiff asserted that the above KRW 500 million originally paid to the Defendants constituted the lease deposit. The Defendants, a joint lessor, jointly and severally, are liable to pay the Plaintiff the deposit amount of KRW 250 million (=500 million - KRW 295 million) and the damages for delay.

As to this, the defendants are merely KRW 295 million among the above KRW 500 million, and the remaining KRW 250 million claimed by the plaintiff is a premium, so the defendants are more entitled to deposit for lease.
