2. Determination
A. Relevant legal principles 1) The crime of obstruction of performance of official duties under Article 136 of the Criminal Act is established only when the performance of official duties is legitimate. Here, legitimate performance of official duties refers to not only the abstract authority of a public official, but also the legal requirements and methods regarding specific performance of official duties. Thus, even if a public official’s act of assault or intimidation against a public official performing an act of lack of legitimacy is committed, it may not be subject to the crime of obstruction of performance of official duties (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2008Do9926, Feb. 12, 2009). Furthermore, whether a certain performance of official duties of a public official belonging to abstract authority is legitimate shall be determined objectively and reasonably based on the specific situation at the time of the act, and it shall not be determined at a pure objective criteria (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 91Do453, May 10, 19
