The main text of Article 2 subparagraph 1 of the Act on Registration of Credit Business and Protection of Finance Users provides that "the term "credit business" means running a business of lending or arranging money, and the term "business" here refers to the continuous repeating of the same act. Whether it falls under this case shall be determined according to ordinary social norms, comprehensively taking into account various circumstances, such as lending or brokerage of money, repetition and continuity of brokerage, existence of business, purpose and scale of the act, the number of times and the manner of the act, regardless of whether the person or material facilities required therefor are simply equipped.

The record reveals that the Defendant was paid KRW 9,40,000,00, including interest KRW 400,000,000,000,000,000 won after August 23, 2011.
