The judgment of the court below is reversed.

Defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than two years and six months.

The Daegu District Prosecutors' Office, Nos. 2 and 4 seized evidence.

1. The summary of the grounds for appeal (e.g., imprisonment with prison labor for three years and confiscation) imposed by the court below is too unreasonable.

2. Unlike the provisions of Article 5-4 (5) of the former Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (amended by Act No. 13717, Jan. 6, 2016), where a person who has been sentenced not less than three times to imprisonment for a crime under Articles 329 through 331, 333 through 336, 340, and 362 of the Criminal Act, or attempts to commit such crime, again commits such crime, and thereby punished as a repeated offense, paragraphs (1) through (4) of this Article shall also be punished, and Article 5-4 (5) of the current Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes provides that “If a person who has been sentenced not less than three times to imprisonment for the crime under Articles 329 through 331, 333 through 336, 340, and 362 of the Criminal Act or an attempt thereof commits such crime again, he/she shall be punished by imprisonment with prison labor for not more than two years as follows:
