-Hyun Byeong-hee Law Firm (Limited) Chief General Counsel Daeryun Legal Column Divorce means that a couple artificially dissolves their marriage through agreement or trial. It can be understood as an act of erasing the memories and time spent on wedding photography and photos that were thought to be beautifully taken through social regulations. But this divorce is not as easy as it sounds. Moreover, if it is not the divorce, but the marriage itself after the divorce is invalidated. ‘Marriage annulment’ after divorce, which seemed difficult, will now become possible. On the 23rd of last month, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a marriage can be annulled even if the couple has already divorced. It is natural that attention is focused on this issue as the Supreme Court precedent, which ruled that there is no benefit in seeking annulment of marriage if the couple has already divorced, has changed for the first time in 40 years. Nullification of marriage does not take effect from the beginning, and divorce takes effect after divorce, so legal relationships that arose on the premise of marriage before divorce are still valid. Therefore, since the legal effects of marriage invalidity and divorce are different, there may be a benefit in confirming that the marriage relationship is invalid even after divorce. If the marriage is invalid, the provisions prohibiting marriage between relatives under the Civil Act and the provisions on rites of kinship under the Criminal Act do not apply, and joint liability for everyday household debts cannot be held under the Civil Act. This ruling affirms the benefit of confirmation as a means of resolving comprehensive legal disputes in one go for requests for confirmation of the invalidity of marriage after divorce, and provides a means to correct the family relationship register where invalid marriage history is incorrectly recorded, so disputes related to legal life can be practically resolved. It can be said to be a very meaningful ruling that expands the method of redress of the parties' rights so that the parties can have their rights resolved. If a marriage is annulled, the status as an 'unmarried person' can be legally restored. Since there has never been a marriage in the first place, even the legal relationship is extinguished, making one more free from various legal disputes. Additionally, you can receive benefits such as various welfare and support projects that you could not enjoy because of your marriage record. It is now possible to guarantee social activities and rights not only to single dads and single mothers, but also to those who have been married and divorced through illegal means. However, under the judgment that divorce and annulment have different legal effects, it has been concluded that there is a legal interest in seeking confirmation of the annulment of marriage through this ruling. It is important to keep in mind that not only are the reasons for annulment a marriage very limited, but this case does not broadly recognize the reasons. As an example, a famous celebrity, Mr. A, recently filed a lawsuit for annulment of marriage after divorcing Mr. B. The main reason is that the other party, Mr. B, hid the existence of the woman with whom he was in a common-law relationship, but Mr. A is claiming that 'the marriage is annulled because he got married under deception.' Given the existing precedent, the question arises as to whether there is any benefit to be gained by annulling the marriage since the divorce process has been completed. However, since this ruling allows the court to determine that 'there may be a legal benefit,' we have no choice but to pay attention to whether Mr. A's annulment lawsuit can be won. In addition to the fact that a lawsuit claiming a marriage annulment can only proceed under special circumstances, it must be proven that a legal benefit can arise. Since you need to look into the details and each case, you must appoint a professional attorney and provide sufficient preparation and consultation. A specific case has emerged showing that you can file a lawsuit for annulment of marriage even after divorce. An opportunity has come to piece together the memories that were tangled, fragmented, and crooked like a skein of thread. It won't be long before I can courageously look at the wedding photos and camera shutters that I took with a smile on my face again. [View full article] - Marriage can be invalidated even if divorced...

Attorney Kim Jeong-beom of Daeryun Law FirmAccording to the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG), the scale of rental guarantee accidents, for which the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation reimburses on behalf of landlords who fail to return the rent to tenants, recorded KRW 4.3347 trillion last year. In Daejeon, where I work, the number of rental fraud cases has increased rapidly since last year, and if you look at the list of ongoing cases, you can see that various lawsuits are being filed directly against famous rental fraud perpetrators in Daejeon, as well as various landlords, real estate agents, and the Korea Association of Real Estate Agents. Of course, there is a need for structured and continuous social discussion on institutional solution methodologies to prevent jeonse fraud, but for individuals living in an extremely specific reality, a "practical guide to preventing jeonse fraud damage" seems to be urgently needed. The following is a guide to preventing damage that is useful right now, organized by transaction stage, focusing on the regrettable aspects of proceeding with lawsuits and providing contract advice. First of all, if it is 'before the transaction stage', it is essential to "confirm the real estate registration certificate." It is important to verify the identity of the lessor through this. In particular, if the object is jointly owned, explicit confirmation of the intention of all co-owners is required. If one of the co-owners appears, or if all co-owners do not appear, it is necessary to check whether the agency contract has been properly concluded (the power of attorney and seal certificate must be checked for forgery, and if possible, it is recommended that the lease contract be concluded directly with the lessor at the real estate agent's office). In addition, you must first check the existence of a senior deposit bond (be sure to check the moving-in unit viewing history), the establishment of a lien, etc., and calculate whether you can fully recover your precious deposit when the real estate object in question ultimately reaches the auction stage. In addition, it is necessary to check whether the lessor is delinquent on taxes through a licensed real estate agent and view the details of unpaid national and local taxes from the lessor on the date of concluding the lease contract. Next, if you have entered the 'transaction stage such as writing a contract', it is important to prepare various 'safety devices' by including various special provisions in the contract contents, which include ① a special agreement that prohibits the transfer of the real estate object in question after the date of payment of the balance until opposition occurs due to a move-in report and a confirmed date (if this is violated, the lessee's right to terminate the lease contract is reserved and the amount of compensation for damages is scheduled); ② a temporary restriction on changes in ownership as above In addition, there is a special contract that prohibits the creation of any security rights such as a mortgage (to secure the right to priority payment), ③ a special contract that asks the lessor who is at fault if it is impossible to borrow the leased money due to a defect in the subject matter, ④ if there is a tax arrears, it must be repaid in full before the balance due date, and if this is violated, the lease contract is invalidated and the deposit doubled is compensated. Lastly, if you have ‘finished the transaction stage’, you must file a move-in report immediately on the day of signing the lease contract and receive a confirmation date. Also, if possible, please sign a lease guarantee insurance contract through a bank. Still, if you have doubts about something, we recommend that you actively seek advice from a lawyer. If you do not attach various safety measures while handing out the deposit, which accounts for a huge portion of your assets, it is no different from entrusting your assets to someone you have never met, relying on their favor.  Jeongbeom Kim, Attorney at Daeryun Law Firm - Public defender at the Supreme Court and Jeonju District Court - Publicly appointed representative at the Central Administrative Appeals Commission - Director of the Korean Society of Criminal Procedure Law - Director of the Korean Administrative Law Society - Counselor at the Daejeon Youth Tomorrow Center - Member of the Warrant Deliberation Committee at the Gwangju High Prosecutors' Office - [View full article] - [Contribution] Practical guide to preventing damage from real estate lease fraud

The court sentenced him to 1 year in prison and 2 years of probation on charges of pocketing 690 million won over 4 years: "Illegal shared lodging business exposes risk of safety accidents" A man in his 30s who earned hundreds of millions of won by operating 11 officetels as an illegal shared lodging facility near Gwangalli Beach, Busan's representative tourist destination, was sentenced to probation. According to the legal community on the 3rd, Beom-yong Lee, the 4th detective of the Eastern Branch of the Busan District Court The judge sentenced Mr. A (30s), who was indicted on charges of violating the Public Sanitation Management Act, to one year in prison and two years of probation, and ordered him to perform 80 hours of community service. According to the criminal facts acknowledged by the first trial, Mr. A is accused of operating 11 officetels in Suyeong-gu, Busan from August 2019 to December 2022 as an illegal shared lodging business without reporting them to the mayor and district head. Mr. A It is known that he earned profits worth 690 million won by operating an illegal shared lodging business for about four years. The lodging business operated by Mr. A is located right in front of Gwangalli Beach, and is said to have received reservations from guests through an internet lodging sharing site. The court said, "Mr. A committed this crime again even though he has a history of being criminally punished for the same crime (a fine of 1 million won)," and added, "Mr. A ran a lodging business. “The crime cannot be considered light as the period is about 4 years and total sales exceed 690 million won,” the ruling said. If you operate an unreported illegal shared lodging business using an officetel, apartment, or house, you are subject to up to 2 years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million won under the ‘Public Hygiene Management Act.’ There are no separate regulations to punish guests who use it, but they can be exposed to fire, safety accidents, and various crimes. There is a risk. Attorney Lee Seung-ho of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited) explained, "The Public Health Act and the Tourism Promotion Act only subject to punishment those who operate unreported illegal shared lodging businesses, and there are no provisions in the current law to punish users." He continued, "However, illegal shared lodging businesses are often not properly equipped with fire safety facilities, etc., so there is a risk of being exposed to safety accidents and sanitary problems may arise." “If you suffer damage due to a safety accident, it may be difficult to receive appropriate compensation or take responsibility,” he said, urging caution.  [View full article] - Man in his 30s, operating an illegal shared lodging business near Gwangalli Beach (link)

[Controversy over the collection of slush funds revealed late] The existence of 30 billion won, which was kept despite paying hundreds of billions of billions of fines, "It is against social justice" Claims for recovery of illegal funds · Cannot be retroactively applied due to the person's death... Collection is difficult | "It is a problem even if the daughter benefits from the slush funds given by Roh Tae-woo. Where is justice in this?" In the appeal court ruling on the divorce suit between SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Noh So-young, director of Art Center Nabi, former President Roh Tae-woo's slush fund As it became known that existence played a decisive role, controversy arose as to whether this ruling was in line with social justice. Considering the fact that former President Roh was sentenced to 17 years in prison for bribery, there is a high possibility that the slush fund was also 'dark money', and public opinion is questioning whether it is appropriate to recognize the money as a 'dowry' for a daughter and to pass on the fruits of the expansion of large corporations to children. However, although this point itself may be possible, there is little possibility of legally returning it to the state. Considering the nature of family lawsuits that do not ask about the source of funds and the fact that the case itself is very old, the general opinion in the legal community is that realistically there is no way to collect money. According to the Hankook Ilbo report on the 2nd, the Seoul High Court's Family Affairs Division 2 (Chief Kim Si-cheol) took into account the illegality of the funds that former President Roh provided to former Chairman Choi Jong-hyun, Choi's father, in 1991, but considered this as a key element in property division. The court also stated, "If the relevant circumstances had been revealed (early), the government may have filed a collection suit against former Chairman Choi." Although the court's logic for including money that was likely to be accumulated through illegal means in the property division is not understandable, the legal community explains that this was due to the characteristics of family trials. For the purpose of divorce litigation, where 'dissolution of the relationship' is an issue, only the contributions of both parties are considered in the division of property, and even if some of the property is suspected to be the proceeds of crime, the court cannot be held criminally liable ex officio. Attorney Lee Hyeon-gon (Saeol Law Firm), who served as a family court judge for a long time, said, "In dividing property, the principle is not to ask about the illegality of the formation process," and "The moment this is taken into consideration, the question arises, 'Is it okay for one party to monopolize illegal assets?' “It is,” he pointed out. Attorney Kim Shin-hye (Hankyoung Law Firm), who specializes in divorce, added, “Collection ordering the payment of criminal proceeds is also a type of punishment, so it is a part that must go through a separate criminal trial (from the family trial).” Ultimately, the conclusion is that deciding whether to recover slush funds is outside the scope of divorce litigation. So, would it be possible to proceed with a new lawsuit against former President Roh's family to collect the proceeds of crime? The problem here is that former President Roh died and the right to prosecution disappeared. Even in the 1990s, the existence of this slush fund was never revealed even in a large-scale investigation to find financial links between former President Roh and Sunkyung Group (formerly SK). In particular, former President Roh relieved himself of judicial responsibility by fully paying the 262.8 billion won fine confirmed by the Supreme Court during his lifetime. It is difficult to hold SK responsible. The law related to concealment of criminal proceeds was enacted in 2001 after the incident. This is why the appellate court in this divorce suit said, “At least as of 1991, even if former Chairman Choi received financial support from former President Roh, it cannot be said to be illegal.” A lawyer who used to be a chief judge explained, “The charges cannot be applied because of the statute of limitations as well as retroactive application issues.” There are some who suggest enacting a special law as a solution, but skeptical views are still dominant. Attorney Kim Gook-il (Daeryun Law Firm), a former prosecutor, mentioned the possibility of unconstitutionality by saying, "Even if a special law is created, the principle is that criminal punishment is exclusive to 'people', so it is difficult to hold the parties responsible since they are dead." However, it is difficult to hold them legally responsible, but in the eyes of public opinion, it seems difficult to avoid the self-deprecating assessment that 'successful collusion between politics and business' has led to 'successful concealment of slush funds.' Former President Roh's wife, Kim Ok-sook, entrusted a large sum of money to a relative or acquaintance and separately recorded the amount (Kim Ok-sook memo). Of these Kim Ok-sook memos, the only thing that was not known to the world until the end was the 30 billion won provided to her in-laws (Seon Kyeong). This is a situation that shows that former President Roh and his wife may have kept quiet for the sake of their daughter even though they were being fined hundreds of billions of won.

Three years ago, I taught a so-called 5th grade student who was taking the bar exam for the 5th time for about 3 months. As his bar exam experience shows, the above examinee studied a lot to the point where there were no academy lectures he didn't take or textbooks he didn't read, but at the time, he was so anxious that he couldn't even sleep properly. There was so much to see, but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to digest it all by the day of the test. In addition to basic books, optional, case, and record-type problem sets and commentary books, and the latest case studies, the number of special lecture materials distributed by schools and academies is truly enormous. At the time, I thought the test taker above was my younger brother, and gave my own tip that if you do this, you will definitely pass. And he continued to reassure me that I would pass until the day of the exam. I meant it. What was the result? The test taker above, who had not completed the military service at the time, easily passed the bar exam he took for the last time in his life, and is currently a military judge captain and is scheduled to be discharged next summer. Now that the 13th bar exam is just around the corner, I would like to introduce what I think is the ‘most efficient finishing tip’ for juniors who, like the test taker above, are barely getting through each day with anxiety. I hope this will be of great reference to you. First, let’s drastically reduce the amount of textbooks to read. In a state of extreme anxiety like now, you will only be able to see the content if you watch it with the confidence that you will pass the minimum amount of content. So what should I watch during the remaining time? For all public, criminal, and civil laws, prioritize in the following order: ① the latest three-year precedents, ② the Law Society mock exam in October, August, and June of this year, and ③ the 11th bar exam. And once you have digested all of the above, the scope gradually expands in reverse chronological order. That is, ④Law Association mock exams held in October, August, and June of last year, and ⑤the 10th bar exam will continue until the day of the exam. If there are any subnotes that you have carefully organized, add only those. In particular, if any precedents from the past three years were included in the case and record format during the Law Society's mock exams held in October, August, and June of this year, check the latest precedent collection once more and become fully familiar with it. You will find yourself smiling in the actual exam room. And from now on, I will study only through input. In other words, it is enough to do the output (=answer writing practice) once or twice for the subject in which you are weakest in order to relieve anxiety. There is absolutely no need to write answers on time just because you studied the case and record format of the Law Society mock test and the bar exam above. To be honest, you probably won't have time for that, and it's important to master at least one more content from the above textbook by the day of the exam. Therefore, after reading the problem, you can organize the issues and the table of contents in your head or in a notebook and then immediately read the explanation. In other words, study as if the above questions and explanations are a basic book, and there is absolutely no need to struggle to solve the questions.  If you read this far, don't these questions come to mind? ‘What should I do if the question is asked outside of the above range?’ Three years ago, a test taker also asked me the same question, and my answer at that time was as follows: “Even though you have completely digested 3 years of the latest precedents, the latest 1 year law association mock exam, and the most recent 1 year bar exam questions, if a question is asked outside the range, you will not be able to solve that problem in the same way even if you look at the basic book from now on, and the same will probably be true for other test takers. You are the most efficient. Be confident that you are studying.” I sincerely hope that all of the students reading this for the 13th bar exam pass and that we can meet in the field next year. I hope you persevere until the end.  [View full article] - [Column] Tips for completing the bar exam for test takers who can't sleep due to anxiety

As someone who has experience reviewing and commenting on over 50 self-introductions at a law school admissions academy last year, and based on advice I received from my advisor while attending law school, I would like to introduce some tips that will help you write a self-introduction. First, the self-introduction is a key document that evaluates the two factors of a law school applicant: character and intelligence. It is evaluated whether the applicant has the ‘character’ to be able to examine not only himself but also his surroundings, and the ‘intellect’ to have the expertise and ability to provide appropriate legal advice as a lawyer. To put it more directly, it means checking whether you are a selfish person that only you know and whether you have the basic qualifications to pass the bar exam in three years. Therefore, when answering each question in your self-introduction, please first think about which of the two factors above is being evaluated. Second, when writing your motivation for applying, it is a good idea to clearly state why you applied to the law school in question. By emphasizing the strengths of the law school, such as specialized content, recommendations from seniors, excellent faculty, high bar exam passing rate, systematic curriculum, and various scholarship benefits, you can clearly convey the motivation for applying and at the same time appeal to compatibility with the law school. Third, in the shortcomings section, it is a good idea to write down elements that can be interpreted as advantages in other aspects (ex. perfectionism, etc.). Also, be sure to mention that you are clearly aware of these shortcomings and that you will make some efforts now or in the future to improve them. So, if you can convince the evaluator that such shortcomings will not be a problem at all in future law school life and bar exam preparation, it will be a huge success. Fourth, regarding your academic plan after entering law school, above all, make it clear that you will faithfully complete the curriculum provided by the school, and that you will supplement only the shortcomings through online lectures, etc., so that completing the law school curriculum and preparing for the bar exam become one. In fact, after entering law school, there are students who neglect school classes and only listen to online academy lectures to prepare for the bar exam. If you mention the above in your study plan in advance, you will definitely make a good impression. Fifth, the section on subjects completed and grades during undergraduate school is intended to evaluate the intellectual aspect of the applicant in earnest. Here, you can appeal that you have prior experience taking law courses, that you have passed a certification exam that includes law courses, or that your grades in law courses were particularly excellent. However, even if you do not have any law-related history as above, you can honestly describe what you experienced while studying your major subject, for example, if you have improved your grade by retaking a course, why you got a bad grade the first time, what improvements you made that resulted in your grade going up when you retook the course, and how you will apply what you learned in law school. There is no need to focus on studying the law in advance while preparing for the patent attorney, certified labor attorney, or first exam of the public administration exam. Sixth, volunteer activities and non-academic participation activities are evaluated for personality aspects. You must appeal through specific episodes about how you demonstrated and developed cooperation, consideration, and leadership. It is much better to emphasize the impressions and lessons learned from your specific experiences rather than simply listing general details such as having done these activities. Seventh, regarding the formal aspect, even if it was an answer to a single question, it was much better to see it written in a separate table of contents. To the author who has read many self-introductions, in the end, a well-written self-introduction is one that naturally reveals the person's personality, values, and thoughts within the person's specific experiences. Even though we took the same classes and participated in the same club activities, the content and impressions we received were all different. Keep in mind that any experience can be the subject of your self-introduction, and try to include specific episodes rather than general abstractions as much as possible. We support the future of all students preparing to enter law school and wish them successful law school admission.  [View full article] - [Column] Law school self-introduction
