The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

1. The summary of the grounds for appeal (unfair sentencing) of the lower court’s punishment (an amount of KRW 3 million) is too unreasonable.

2. Although the Defendant denied the crime up to the lower court’s judgment and subsequently led to the confession of the facts charged later at the lower court, perjury requires strict punishment as an offense impeding the judicial function of the State by hindering the finding of substantial truth by the court. In full view of the Defendant’s age, sex and environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime, and other factors revealed in the pleadings of the instant case, such as the circumstances after the crime, the lower court’s punishment is too unreasonable.

3. The defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act on the grounds that the defendant's appeal is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
