For the reasons indicated in its reasoning, the lower court reversed the first instance judgment convicting the Defendant on the ground that there was no proof of a crime regarding the violation of the Act on Promotion of Utilization of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, Etc.

(Defamation).

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
