A. (1) According to the above facts of recognition, Defendant A is obligated to pay to the Plaintiff 39,295,103 won (i.e., attempted interest amounting to KRW 39,199,817) and damages for delay at the rate of 20% per annum under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings from October 24, 2013 to the date of full payment, which is the day following the last delivery of the copy of the complaint of this case containing a declaration of intent to demand performance.

B. Defendant B and E’s assertion is asserted that there was an agreement to exempt Defendant B from the obligation of this case, but there is no evidence to prove this, and the above assertion is rejected.
(2) Defendant E asserts that the instant claim is contrary to the good faith, since it did not have any consultation on the overdue interest of the principal debtor or on the extension of the maturity of the principal obligation. However, Defendant E asserted that the instant claim contravenes the good faith principle.
