The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

1. The main point of the grounds for appeal is that the lower court’s punishment (an amount of KRW 500,000) is too unreasonable.

2. In light of the legislative intent of the Juvenile Protection Act, in order for juveniles to grow into sound character by protecting juveniles from harmful environment, the Defendant’s liability for selling alcoholic beverages to juveniles without properly verifying his/her identification card is light.

In full view of the various sentencing conditions as shown in the records and arguments of the instant crime, including the fact that there is no particular change in the sentencing conditions compared with the lower court, the lower court’s sentence cannot be deemed unfair. As such, the Defendant’s above assertion is without merit.

3. In conclusion, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act on the grounds that the defendant's appeal is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
