The judgment of the first instance is reversed.
Defendant shall be punished by a fine of KRW 2,500,000.
The above fine shall not be paid by the defendant.
Reasons
1. The scope of the judgment of the court of first instance, among the facts charged in the instant case against the Defendant, acquitted the Defendant, and convicted the Defendant of embezzlement, and sentenced the Defendant to a fine of KRW 2.5 million.
