A. On March 10, 2016, the Plaintiff entered the Republic of Korea with a short-term visit (C-3) status on March 10, 2016, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on March 15, 2016.

B. On April 19, 2016, the Defendant rendered a disposition to deny the Plaintiff’s application for refugee status (hereinafter “instant disposition”) on the ground that the Plaintiff’s assertion does not constitute “a well-founded fear that would be subject to persecution” as stipulated in Article 1 of the Refugee Convention and Article 1 of the Refugee Protocol.

C. The Plaintiff dissatisfied with the instant disposition and filed an objection against the Minister of Justice on May 9, 2016, but the Minister of Justice dismissed the objection on December 22, 2016.

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. On February 10, 2016, the Plaintiff asserted that he/she was engaged in taxi business in the day-wing, and that on February 10, 2016, the Plaintiff died of two taxi drivers and two passengers, and the bereaved families of passengers are threatening to kill the Plaintiff.

For this reason, the disposition of this case which did not recognize the plaintiff as a refugee even though the plaintiff could be affected by gambling when he returns home to his country is illegal.

B.
