(hereinafter “Defendant Co., Ltd.”) offered the Plaintiff with labor equivalent to KRW 13,60,000 from April 2, 2016 to June 13, 200 at the site of the new apartment construction work located in Sejong-si, Gangwon-do, which was performed by the Defendant Quasi-Construction Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Defendant Co., Ltd.”), but did not receive the remainder of KRW 9,230,000 after receiving the wages from the Defendant

2. The Plaintiff asserted that Defendant B also sought payment of wages as alleged above since he participated in the instant construction as a person in charge of the construction site of the said new construction works.
