1. The Defendant’s KRW 18,00,000 as well as the Plaintiff’s annual rate of KRW 5% from November 17, 2018 to May 16, 2019.

1. Facts of recognition;

A. The Plaintiff and C are married couple who completed the marriage report on December 30, 2013.

Furthermore, with respect to the amount of consolation money that the defendant is liable, there are various arguments in the proceedings of this case, such as health team, the marriage period and family relation of the plaintiff and C, the period and degree of fraudulent act between the defendant and C, the degree of suffering suffered by the plaintiff due to the defendant's fraudulent act, and the field of the
