A. As to the assertion that the crime of property damage does not constitute the element of the crime of property damage, the crime of property damage is established when a special media records, such as another person’s property, documents, or electronic records, such as electronic records, are destroyed or concealed to impair their utility by any other means (Article 366 of the Criminal Act). Here, the crime of property damage is established, even if the removal of a banner makes it impossible to perform the original function of a banner by causing damage or concealment, as well as in cases where the utility is reduced temporarily as it makes it impossible to play a specific role as a material destruction act in a state where the goods, etc. cannot be used for its original purpose, and as a temporary act of causing damage to its utility (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2016Do9219, Nov. 25, 2016).
And as long as the defendant had awareness and intent to remove banner, the intention of damage to property is also recognized.

Article 2 subparag. 2 and 9 of the former Housing Act (amended by Act No. 13805, Jan. 19, 2016; Act No. 13805, Aug. 12, 2016) separately define “multi-family housing” and “welfare facilities” as “welfare facilities” with regard to the assertion that the Defendant, a apartment management warden, has the right to manage the banner installed on the rail of apartment buildings.
