The judgment of the court below is reversed.
Defendant shall be punished by a fine of 3.5 million won.
The above fine shall not be paid by the defendant.
Reasons

As above, the judgment of the court below is reversed pursuant to Article 364(2) of the Criminal Procedure Act as long as the ground for ex officio reversal exists, and it is again decided as follows.
