1. All of the instant lawsuits are dismissed.
2. The costs of lawsuit shall be borne by the Plaintiff.
Reasons
Where the court determines that the provision of security for the costs of lawsuit is necessary because the plaintiff has no address, office, or office in the Republic of Korea, or the claim is obviously groundless based on the written complaint, written brief, or other court records, it shall order the plaintiff to provide the security for the costs of lawsuit
(Article 117(1) of the Civil Procedure Act). If, with the knowledge of the existence of the grounds for providing security, the defendant makes a pleading on the merits or makes a statement during the preparatory date for pleading, he shall not apply
(Article 118). The secured amount must be determined on the basis of the total sum of the expenses to be disbursed by the Defendant in each instance.
(Article 120 (2) of the above Act). In addition, when a plaintiff fails to furnish a security within the period to furnish such security, the court may dismiss the lawsuit by its judgment without holding any pleadings.
