However, the Defendant, while establishing the above company and starting cargo transport brokerage business, borrowed approximately KRW 180,00,000 from the land owners, and in addition, he/she has to pay interest of KRW 35,151,000 per month on the loan of KRW 35,000 per month due to the obligation to pay KRW 35,151,000 per month on the loan of automobile to capital. Since approximately KRW 3,00,000 per month was spent for daily expenses, he/she first received the transportation fee from the cargo owners and thought to use it as interest, living expenses, etc., and since the Defendant did not have any business operation funds or property from the above shipping charges, it was very unclear whether it is possible to pay the transportation fee within 30,000,000 per month on the loan of KRW 3,00 per month.
