The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
1. The Enforcement Decree of the Act cannot supplement the content of the rights and obligations of an individual provided by the Act without delegation by the parent law or provide new contents that are not provided by the Act. In particular, it violates the principle of statutoryism to provide for matters on criminal punishment and expand the scope of punishment by exceeding the explicit delegation of the Act. Thus, such Enforcement Decree is null and void as it goes against the principle of statutoryism (see Supreme Court Decisions 98Do1759, Oct. 15, 1998; 98Do2816, Feb. 11, 1999; hereinafter the same shall apply).
