The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. misunderstanding of facts or misapprehension of legal principles does not constitute an act of entering false facts in the electoral registry, as long as the Defendant was unable to prepare the electoral registry except disqualified persons without any judgment by the board of directors on whether he/she is qualified as a union member, but is not qualified as a union member.

B. The sentence of the lower court’s improper sentencing (one million won in penalty) is too unreasonable.
