All appeals by the Defendants are dismissed.

1. The summary of the grounds for appeal is unreasonable because each sentence of the lower court (each fine of KRW 1.5 million, additional collection of KRW 4.20,000) against the Defendants is too unreasonable.

Such circumstances are favorable to the Defendants.

However, each of the crimes of this case committed by the Defendants is not a person registered as an election campaign worker who is entitled to receive allowances, etc. under the Public Official Election Act, and it is not good to commit the crime in light of the motive and circumstance of the crime, and the fact that the money and valuables received by the Defendants are not less than 420,000 won.

In order to realize democracy through fair elections, the defendants should be punished strictly as long as it is necessary to strictly limit the number of money, valuables, etc. related to election campaigns in order to prevent the overheated of election campaigns and guarantee the transparency of election process.

The Defendants tried to conceal the crime in the investigative agency by attempting to commit the crime.
