The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
Defendant ○○○○’s ground of appeal
However, even if a soldier of the Republic of Korea was dispatched to a military unit stationed in the Republic of Korea and performed official duties under the direction of the U.S. military, his duties are considered to be in the nature of his official duties as a Korean public official (Supreme Court Decision 66Da737 delivered on June 28, 66). Thus, the judgment of the court below to the same purport is just, and its decision is not yet effective, and there is no argument that the court below criticizes the original judgment on the premise of the draft of the Korea-U.S. Administrative Agreement, which is merely a negotiation between the Republic of Korea and the United States.
Therefore, it is so decided as per Disposition with the assent of all participating judges.
