For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court determined that the report of acceptance of bribe through the article of this case cannot be deemed illegal in view of the media monitoring and criticism function of public officials or public service society, rather than the fact that the article of this case is not suspected of being harsh, and that the report of acceptance of bribe through the article of this case cannot be deemed illegal in view of the following:

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the relevant legal principles and records, the lower court did not err by failing to exhaust all necessary deliberations and exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on defamation.

Therefore, all appeals are dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
