Interview with Cho Young-gon and Yeo Sang-won, representative lawyers of Daeryun Law Firm's Special Department, “An unprecedented hacking incident in history... SKT is proving responsible for intentional and negligent actions and achieving justice.” Emphasized, “No matter what criticism or pressure, we will fulfill our duty as a large law firm on the side of the people.” A month has passed since the unprecedented server hacking incident occurred, but public anger against SK Telecom (SKT) is not going away. This is because the SIM information of approximately 23 million subscribers has been leaked, but no significant countermeasures have been taken. Daeryun Law Firm has initiated criminal charges and accusation procedures to punish those responsible, and is providing practical legal assistance to subscribers who have suffered damage. On the 27th, a civil suit was filed with the Seoul Central District Court seeking compensation of 1 million won per person. Daeryun said the Special Action Headquarters (Special Department) has been handling the case since the beginning of the incident. The Special Department is an organization that organizes professional lawyers under the leadership of the head of the division and specializes in mid- to large-scale cases, and legal veterans with nearly 40 years of experience in the legal field handle cases at the forefront. Cho Young-gon, a former chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and head of the Special Division 2, who is overseeing this litigation, said, "Daeryun is the only large law firm among large law firms that is speaking out and carrying out a class action lawsuit regarding the SKT incident." “Most large law firms are dealing with corporations as clients, so they are showing a passive attitude toward this issue. Even though the damage to the public is clear, they are ignoring the damage, which is extremely irresponsible behavior,” he said. In fact, large law firms are reluctant to get involved with this situation. This is because SK Group, the second-highest ranking company in the business world, could be looked down on for representing the victims. Large law firms have corporations as their main clients, so they are reluctant to take on sensitive lawsuits. Even within the legal community, there is much skepticism about the possibility of winning class action lawsuits. SKT's negligence and causality must be proven, but some say it is not easy to collect technical evidence for secondary damage. Special Department 1 Chief Attorney Yeo Sang-won (Training Institute 17th Class) said, "There is a lot of pressure, such as the fact that it is a lawsuit where you can only receive a few hundred thousand won at most, and that you will definitely lose," but added, "However, this lawsuit goes beyond simply redressing individual rights, and can be said to be a public interest lawsuit to protect the people's right to personal information." emphasized. He said, “The reason we stand against the perception that accusations and lawsuits are like hitting a rock with an egg is to put the brakes on a structure in which citizens’ rights are treated more lightly than corporate profits.” Regarding the amount of alimony, we compared and analyzed it with existing similar cases. Attorney Yeo said, "In personal information leakage cases such as those in banks, the court has generally recognized compensation in the range of 100,000 to 300,000 won. However, this case occurred because the telecommunication service provider failed to safely manage SIM card information in the current situation where mobile phones are used as a means of identity authentication. Therefore, we have decided to hold liability more strictly than in past cases and proceed with the lawsuit by setting the compensation amount at 1 million won per person." He continued, "Because the accident occurred within the scope of the other party's control. He emphasized, "As long as it is difficult to prove that SKT is not at fault, we expect the trial's conclusion to be favorable to our side." In the case of criminal punishment, it was difficult to make specific predictions as the level may vary depending on the police investigation and the Personal Information Protection Committee's investigation. Attorney Cho Young-gon said, “We requested a strict investigation from the public interest perspective regarding SKT’s intentional cost reduction of overall information protection measures and poor response in the reporting process to the Korea Internet & Security Agency.” He added, “There will be differences depending on the application of criminal liability and gross negligence.” Overseas, there is a trend to clarify responsibility in relation to personal information leakage incidents. We are strictly controlling illegal activities by companies by imposing fines amounting to hundreds of billions of won and punitive damages that are heavier than the actual damages received. In fact, T-Mobile, one of the three major U.S. telecommunications companies, also leaked the personal information of 77.6 million people through hacking in 2021. At that time, it decided to pay about 459 billion won in compensation, and affected customers received compensation of up to about 32 million won depending on the amount of damage. Attorney Cho said, "There are many cases overseas where large law firms hold companies accountable through consumer class action lawsuits. Consumers' right to choose, right to know, “We are actively working to ensure that all rights to safety are guaranteed,” he said. “We have not tried, but if we do not spare any legal assistance for the victims, there is a good chance of winning the case.” Attorney Cho also said, “No matter what type of criticism or pressure there is, we will stand on the side of the people who are victims and will not give up and fight the lawsuit until the end.” “We will do our best, and we will fulfill our social responsibility to prevent such problems from occurring again,” he added.

Seohyung Lee, Attorney at Daeryun Medical Pharmaceutical Group Law Firm Focusing on the establishment and revision of six types of digital medical device guidelines by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, on May 7, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety established and revised six types of guidelines related to digital medical devices. This enactment and revision is a measure to more specifically reorganize the regulatory system for the overall digital health technology, and will require a more strategic response not only from companies but also from stakeholders such as hospitals and research institutes. The newly established and revised guidelines are as follows. ■ Establishment - Digital medical device software approval/examination guidelines ■ Amendment ① Digital medical device approval/examination guidelines to which artificial intelligence technology is applied ② Medical device software approval/examination guidelines ③ Medical device software approval/examination guidelines ③ Digital medical device approval/examination guidelines to which virtual convergence technology is applied ④ Digital therapeutic device approval/examination guidelines ⑤ Digital medical device clinical trial method design guidelines to which artificial intelligence technology is applied These guidelines clearly clarify the review criteria according to technology type as follows. It is differentiated. 1. Machine Learning-enabled Medical Devices (MLMD) The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety determines whether software that uses machine learning technology is a digital medical device by focusing on ① whether the software is likely to cause harm to patients by not operating as intended and ② whether the software guarantees clinical judgment by medical personnel. Specific permission and review requirements include △ characteristics of learning data such as information and expected update cycle △ accuracy of diagnosis using items such as sensitivity, specificity, and AUC △ clinical results based on independence and objectivity of test data sets, etc. 2. Digital medical devices based on virtual convergence technology. Meanwhile, in order for a device to which VR, AR, and MR technologies are applied to be judged as a medical device, the purpose of use must be the diagnosis or treatment of a disease, and the composition and operating principle of the device must be consistent with that purpose. If there is a lack of data explaining the causal relationship for medical efficacy, such as improvement of patient symptoms, this may lead to a request for submission of supplementary data. In addition, verification of safety, such as emergency stop devices, and verification of performance, such as accuracy, reaction speed, and image reproduction, are considered as major review items. 3. Embedded vs. stand-alone software In the established 'Digital Medical Device Software Approval and Review Guidelines', digital medical device software is divided into stand-alone and built-in software, accessories as software, or electronic interfaces, and the application and document submission items are classified according to their characteristics. In the case of embedded types, it is necessary to prepare and submit data on medical device hardware in addition to performance or characteristics, purpose of use, method of use, etc. in accordance with the ‘Regulations on Digital Medical Product Permission, Certification, Reporting, Review and Evaluation, etc.’. Meanwhile, in the case of digital therapeutic devices, they are independent digital medical device software, so they comply with the corresponding approval and review requirements. In addition, considering the characteristics of digital therapeutic devices, it must be possible to submit data considering additional matters such as the scientific (clinical) operating principle of the treatment mechanism, clinical trial results (real-world use evidence (RWE) obtained by analyzing real-world use data (RWD) when necessary after approval), and software verification and effectiveness. 4. Practical response: Regulation design must be carried out in parallel from the planning stage. According to the above guidelines, the importance of establishing a regulatory strategy throughout the entire development cycle of digital medical devices is emphasized. Companies, hospitals, institutions, etc. must be able to strategically respond to the following issues starting from design. - Whether the company's products with AI or virtual convergence technology meet the requirements for digital medical devices - Setting the scope of review according to software classifications designated by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety - Built-in, stand-alone, or other - Constructing technical data and clinical data according to applicable guidelines - Establishing a post-response system in case of algorithm changes or updates Lack of such structural response may lead to delays in approval, repeated requests for supplementation, and sanctions related to labeling and advertising. Daeryun Medical Pharmaceutical Group, a law firm, is a partner that goes beyond a technology-centered approach to comprehensively design regulatory interpretation and strategy establishment, providing effective advice throughout the entire process of digital medical device approval, review, and follow-up management. The establishment and revision of the 2025 Ministry of Food and Drug Safety guidelines were carried out in the process of establishing regulations for the digital health industry. Technology alone can no longer guarantee market entry, and the ability to strategically prepare for and respond to regulations will determine industry competitiveness.[View full article] [Contribution] Improvement of digital medical device approval and review system and strategic response to industry (Go here)

There is less than a week left until the 21st presidential election. During this period, both prosecutors and police have no time to rest. This is because they are suffering from the issue of election fraud. In the 20th presidential election held three years ago, a total of 2,001 people were indicted, and 609 of them were sent to trial. This is a 127.9% increase compared to the 878 election offenders booked during the 19th presidential election in 2017. The background to this trend is the spread of false information through social media and an increase in the number of related complaints. Black propaganda and the spread of false facts surrounding candidates are occurring more frequently. The types are also very diverse. Representative examples include △false propaganda about personal information such as a candidate's education, career, military service, etc. △spreading false information about past criminal records △slandering opposing candidates △exaggerated claims about political achievements. Of course, it is difficult to view the simple act of conveying opinions as spreading false information, but false claims that can significantly affect voters' judgment may be subject to legal sanctions. While general defamation by revealing false information is punishable by up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 10 million won, under the Public Official Election Act, the crime of publishing false information for the purpose of losing an elected official can be punished by up to 7 years in prison or a fine of between 5 million won and 30 million won. There are many cases where inadvertently posted SNS posts or photos lead to punishment. It is now widely known that taking authentication photos inside a polling place is problematic, but it must also be kept in mind that taking photos of ballots inside a polling place is also a clear violation. Cases of damaging election posters also occur frequently. This can also be punishable by imprisonment for up to 2 years or a fine of up to 4 million won under Article 240 of the Public Official Election Act. There is a notable precedent in this regard. During the 2022 local elections, a voter was indicted on charges of damaging election posters. However, the court found him not guilty on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act. The idea is that the voter in question was illiterate and could not read, so it would have been difficult for him to recognize that the poster was for election campaign purposes. However, since the poster itself has property value, the crime of property damage was recognized and a fine was imposed. It is also important to be aware of the targets that can be used for election campaigning. In addition, it is important to note that according to Article 60 of the Public Official Election Act, public officials, officers at the level of company commander or higher in the reserve force, members of election commissions at each level, etc. are prohibited from campaigning in principle, as they are in a position to maintain the neutrality and fairness of elections. Of course, the Public Official Election Act has a relatively short statute of limitations of 6 months, so some point out that the investigation and prosecution of election offenders is done in a 'crammed manner'. Nevertheless, it is best to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or violations, and special care is needed to ensure that the essence of democracy is not damaged by familiarizing yourself with the Public Official Election Act in general.

A group of people who extorted hundreds of millions of won from victims by using opposite-sex encounters as bait has been put on trial. The Ulsan District Prosecutors' Office announced that it had arrested and indicted Mr. A, the head of the investment fraud organization, on charges of telecommunications financial fraud and violating the Electronic Financial Transactions Act in April, and indicted five members of the organization, including those involved in the crime and those responsible for receiving funds, without detention. These people, including Mr. It was discovered that he committed the crime after approaching six people and encouraging them to sign up for a specific site, saying he would match them with aspiring idols or influencers. After registering, the victims were asked to participate in a betting game, saying that they could only meet the person they wanted by raising their level. In the beginning, only a small game participation fee was remitted and the profits were paid straight away, but it was revealed that after the betting amount increased, he received the profits and disappeared. It was confirmed that the amount they extorted from the victims amounted to 600 million won. The prosecution said, "This case is an organized crime with roles divided into the overall plan, execution plan, and money laundering plan," and "The nature of the crime is very bad in that it not only caused financial damage to the victim but also violated the Electronic Financial Transactions Act and the Telecommunications Business Act." Attorney Seo Bong-ha of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. “The method of inducing subscription and repeated remittance under the pretext of increasing ratings and guaranteed profits is a typical investment-inducing deception method,” he said. “Even if actual profits are initially returned, it is highly likely to be a typical fraud, so if requests for funds are repeated, you should immediately seek advice from the police or a legal expert.” He added, “Recently, it is evolving beyond simple scams disguised as dating to complex forms such as inducing investment or participating in virtual games under the pretense of matching the opposite sex.” He emphasized, “The method of repeatedly requesting money after forming emotional trust is a typical deception method similar to a romance scam, so it is important to quickly seek help from a legal expert if damage is suspected.” Reporter Hwang Jeong-won (jwhwang@mt.co.kr)[View full article] “I will help you meet aspiring idols”… Fraudster who stole 600 million won (Shortcut)

The court ruled that the act of suddenly requesting compensation 15 years after the incident without proper notice was against the principles of good faith and was unfair. According to the legal community on the 28th, the 1st Civil Affairs Division of the Mokpo Branch of the Gwangju District Court ruled on the 22nd of last month that the government lost the lawsuit seeking compensation filed by the government against five people, including Mr. A, a man in his 30s. They were found guilty of assaulting the next soldier, Mr. B, while performing their military service in 2009. At the time, Unable to overcome the bullying in the compound, Mr. B attempted an extreme decision and eventually fell into a brain-dead state. Mr. B filed a lawsuit for damages for medical expenses, claiming that the incident occurred due to the government's neglect of management and supervision in 2017, and won. Five years later, the government paid about 2.7 billion won in compensation. Afterwards, the government last year claimed about 500 million won in compensation from five people, including Mr. A. According to Article 2 of the National Compensation Act. According to the state, when a public official or a person entrusted with public affairs causes damage to another person intentionally or through negligence, the state must compensate for the damage, and can seek compensation if the public official, etc. is grossly negligent. Mr. A and others countered that the government's claim for compensation was wrong. They said that the government paid medical expenses to Mr. B for a long time but did not inform them of this. In addition, they requested dismissal of the claim, saying that they did not notify them of the progress of the civil suit related to this. The court sided with Mr. A and others. “The plaintiff did not notify the defendant of this for several years while paying hospitalization and treatment expenses, and did not notify the defendant of the possibility of claiming compensation even after the civil judgment was issued,” he said. “The time when compensation was notified to the defendants was about 15 years after the incident occurred,” he said. He continued, “The defendants probably believed that the plaintiff would not pursue compensation and other separate responsibilities,” and added, “It is against the principles of good faith to make compensation related to the case at a time when so much time has passed.” He added. Attorney Cho Seong-geun of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, explained, "It cannot be considered appropriate to shift the financial burden in the name of compensation without any notice when a considerable amount of time has passed since the date of the incident. In addition, at the time of the incident, Mr. A and others were ordinary soldiers, not professional soldiers, and therefore the government had a duty to create an environment to prevent harsh acts from occurring."

An employee who issued a cash receipt without the consent of the restaurant owner and was sent to trial on charges of falsifying prior self-records was found not guilty by the appeals court following the first trial by proving that the work was done under the CEO's instructions. According to the legal community on the 27th, the Suwon District Court found A, a woman in her 40s, not guilty at the appellate trial in April on charges of falsifying dictionary records. By June, he was sent to trial on charges of issuing cash receipts without the consent of Mr. B, the restaurant owner. However, Mr. A denied the charges, saying that Mr. B made him report for value-added tax and pay for four major insurances while also ordering him to issue cash receipts and tax invoices. The prosecution requested a fine of 7 million won for Mr. A, but the first trial found him not guilty. In order to issue a cash receipt, you must go through an identity verification process using a mobile phone in the name of the business representative, but this is because there is no evidence that Mr. A obtained Mr. B's mobile phone. The court also determined that Mr. B was aware of the fact that transactions were being made in the name of the company, considering that he instructed Mr. A to pay the value-added tax and attempted to receive a refund. The appellate court also found the original judgment to be correct. When a transaction occurs in the name of a corporation, the issuance of tax invoices and cash receipts is a natural process that follows, so even if there was no separate approval from the final manager, it was judged that it can be interpreted as explicit or implicit consent. Attorney Seung-seok Ko of Daeryun Law Firm, the legal representative of Mr. A, said, “For a charge of forgery of prior electronic records to be recognized, it is necessary to falsely create or change another person's electronic records, and Mr. B delegated a number of tax-related tasks to Mr. A, and this situation was well explained at the trial. He explained, “I could have been found not guilty like the original trial.” Reporter Jeong Cheol-wook[View full article] A person in his 40s was found not guilty on the charge of unauthorized issuance of cash receipts...

Daeryun Law Firm is located in Seongnam Alpha Dome Tower. The Seongnam branch office of the Gyeonggi General Headquarters was relocated and opened. This opening is a strategic measure by Daeryun Law Firm to advance the establishment of a core legal hub in the Gyeonggi area and establish a legal response system specialized for the needs of the Pangyo region, the center of the technology industry.

Daeryun Law Firm, which supports office space within Park One's Seoul headquarters branch office and provides legal advice on drama scripts, announced on the 28th that it provided legal advice on drama production along with providing a filming location for the tvN drama 'Unknown Seoul'. 'Unknown Seoul (written by Lee Kang, directed by Park Shin-woo and Nam Geon, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Monster Union and High Ground)', which first aired on the 24th, is a lie in which twin sisters who are different in everything except their faces exchange their lives. It is a romantic coming-of-age drama about finding true love and life. Actors Park Bo-young and Park Jin-young, who are attempting to play two roles for the first time, are becoming a hot topic by participating as the main characters, and recorded the highest household viewership rating of 6.5% in the metropolitan area after only two episodes. Dae-ryun supported the filming location of the law firm in the drama. Based on Daeryun's actual work environment, including the lobby and conference room of Park One's Seoul headquarters branch office in Yeouido, the entire main office space was provided, adding to the sense of reality and immersion in the drama. In particular, it is said that it spared no effort in providing legal support at the law firm level, including providing legal advice during the script production process. Using the provision of the filming location for 'Unknown Seoul' as an opportunity, Daeryun expanded the provision of legal advice on drama production and further provided legal advice in various fields including dramas, movies, performances, and sports through the Entertainment and Sports Group.

Pursuant to Article 258-2, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Act, the crime of special injury is committed when a person inflicts injury on another person by showing the force of a group or group of people or by carrying a dangerous object. Since this crime only provides for imprisonment without a fine, once the special injury charge is applied, efforts should be made to reduce the sentence as much as possible. The sentence is also not easy. Pursuant to this law, if you hit and injure a person with a dangerous object, you will be punished by imprisonment for not less than 1 year but not more than 10 years. In addition, depending on the severity of the damage, a prison sentence of between 2 and 20 years is possible. In particular, unlike general assault, special injury is not a crime of impunity or pro-crime, so investigation and prosecution is possible even without a complaint from the other party. The actual case I was responsible for is explained as follows. While defendant A was drinking with a work acquaintance, he overheard gossip about his family and committed violence. The problem is that Mr. A's actions did not stop at simple assault. At the time, Mr. A could not control his anger and swung a dangerous object nearby, which caused injuries to the victim's face and head. After being sent to the prosecution, Mr. A was fortunately able to reach an amicable agreement with the victim. As the victim also did not submit a medical certificate, the case appeared to be nearing completion. Although special injuries were applied, an agreement was reached and, considering that it was a first offense, a deferred indictment or summary indictment was quite possible. However, the prosecution's judgment was different. A formal trial was requested and a prison sentence was requested. Accordingly, the court was also in a situation where it could sentence a prison sentence. During the trial, the author emphasized that Mr. A confessed to all of his crimes and received forgiveness from the victim, that his family and friends were hoping for leniency, and that he may be fired from his job if he is sentenced to prison. As a result, I was able to safely receive a deferred sentence (a sentence that suspends the sentence and is exempted after a certain period of time). As in the case above, criminal proceedings cannot be avoided for special injury crimes even if an agreement is reached with the victim. Therefore, one should not hastily judge that the case will be resolved through agreement alone. Therefore, if you are accused of a special injury crime, you should try to lower the punishment as much as possible. However, this process requires a strategic approach and the assistance of experts such as special injury lawyers. Attorney Choi Hyeon-deok of Daeryun Law Firm in Pyeongtaek said, "The first thing to check with an expert is whether the other party provided a cause. If the incident occurred due to the other party's continuous insults, verbal abuse, etc., you can resolve the situation to your advantage." He added, "You should also look at justifiable defense and excessive defense. If it is acknowledged that the other party's actions were intended to protect oneself due to preemptive assault, you can expect a reversal of the situation or a reduced sentence. Other reflections and family circumstances. “We can request a reduction in the level of punishment through explanations, petitions, etc.,” he said.

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 26th that it successfully held a seminar with the Korea Medical Device Industry Association to discuss response measures for import and export companies such as medical and beauty devices. This seminar was held online and offline, and a total of 119 companies, including the association's partners, attended. The seminar began with greetings from attorney Gye-jun Son, head of the Daeryun Corporate Legal Group, and attorney Seo-hyung Lee, head of the Medical Pharmaceutical Group. Attorney Lee said, "Today's seminar is a very timely opportunity to consider the intersection of industrial strategy and regulatory trends beyond a simple explanation of the system," and added, "I hope this opportunity will help each company set a strategic direction." He then spoke. Customs expert Jae-ho Myung explained the changing customs investigation trends and obligations to comply with the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act by transaction type, and made a presentation on foreign exchange risks and response strategies in the medical and beauty device industry. Commissioner Myeong is a customs broker and has accumulated expertise while in charge of customs trade consulting for a number of companies. In addition, he is prominent in the customs field by working as an expert member of the International Customs and Trade Advisory Center (ICTC), an export deliberation member of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, and an FTA consultant and full-time lecturer at the Korea Customs Service and Korea International Trade Association. Regarding the upcoming regular foreign exchange inspection, he said, "The Korea Customs Service has been selectively inspecting only illegal foreign exchange transactions, but starting this year, it is establishing and implementing a foreign exchange inspection system on a regular basis by industry," adding, "Fields such as medicine and beauty with high imports and exports are receiving intensive inspections. He then explained, "We will be a target for payment delays due to double regulation of medical devices, foreign exchange control and remittance regulations in countries subject to export and import, and prior approval based on sanctioned countries and sensitive technical information. We then introduced matters that companies should keep in mind during the import and export process," said Kim Gook-il, CEO of Daeryun, saying, "With the introduction of regular foreign exchange inspections by the Korea Customs Service, the proactive response capabilities of import and export companies have become more important than ever." “I hope this serves as an opportunity to take the lead in responding,” he said.
