2. Determination
A. In full view of the following circumstances acknowledged by Gap's evidence Nos. 1 and 2 as to the cause of the claim and the purport of the entire pleadings, it is reasonable to view that the plaintiff lent the interest rate of KRW 10,000,000 to the defendant around August 2002, at the rate of KRW 24% per annum (2% per annum). The plaintiff was paid KRW 5,000,000 from the defendant on November 2, 2005. Thus, it is reasonable to view that the defendant did not pay the plaintiff the interest of KRW 5,00,000, and the interest of KRW 250,000 paid by the defendant on December 5, 2006 on the date on which the defendant's payment of interest was made to the first policeman on February 8, 2007, which should have been made by the defendant on May 2, 206.
Since then, as the plaintiff seeks, it is obligated to pay the interest rate of 24% per annum from February 9, 2007 to the date of full payment.
