I am being charged with subway hidden-camera filming.

I have recently come to face a police investigation on a charge related to subway hidden-camera filming. Could you advise me on how I should respond during the investigation process?

After drinking, I got into an argument with a passerby and became involved in an assault case. But since this is my first time in such a situation, I do not know anything at all.

Is a reporting or review procedure required for a business combination?

Our company intends to pursue a business combination with a competitor as part of a strategic alliance. We are considering it by way of a merger or the acquisition of equity shares, and I have heard that a review by the Fair Trade Commission is required in this regard. I am curious about whether every business combination must be reported, whether everyone is subject to review, and what the criteria for the review are, among other things.

Is a report to the Ministry of Employment and Labor possible?

Hello, I have a question regarding a report to the Ministry of Employment and Labor. I was subjected to a recommended resignation due to company circumstances, but I have still not received my severance pay. When I looked it up, it seems there is a set period within which severance pay must be given from the date of leaving. I have not received it for over a month; is a report to the Ministry of Employment and Labor possible for this? I am also curious about the reporting procedure and so on.

I need help from an attorney regarding certified content mail.

An acquaintance borrowed money from me and has not been repaying it. At first I simply pressed him through phone calls, but now, even when he answers the phone, he just keeps putting it off. People around me said that sending a certified content mail can be effective, so I am looking into it. Can I simply send it from a post office? Or I wonder whether it carries more force if an attorney prepares the certified content mail.

Tax attorney, on what income is corporate tax levied?

Tax attorney, on exactly what income is corporate tax imposed? I heard that corporate income is taxed each business year, and I would like to know whether cases such as mergers, divisions, and land transfers are also included. And I heard that a separate tax is also imposed on the non-recirculated income of corporations above a certain size, so I would like to know whether this applies as well.

Please review whether this is a situation in which I should file international litigation.

Hello. Our company entered into a contract with an overseas business partner, but a dispute has arisen over the payment for goods. The partner is in the United States, and the contract states that the trial is to be held in a U.S. court rather than a Korean court. In such a case, do we have to proceed with international litigation? I am also curious about whether the procedure is complicated, whether there is another method, and whether a Korean attorney can help.

I would like to report a stalking crime to the police.

Recently, an acquaintance has been loitering around my house and keeps calling me and harassing me through KakaoTalk. In such a case, can I report it as a stalking crime? I am curious about what procedures the police go through to protect me when I report it, and what punishment the perpetrator faces if he violates this.

I am curious about the sentencing guidelines for the offense of drug possession.

A friend asked me to keep drugs for him, so I simply kept them at my home. A few months ago, a friend asked me to keep drugs for a while, and thinking that merely keeping them would be fine, I kept them at my home. However, my friend was reported, and during the investigation he apparently told them that I had the drugs... As a result, I have become involved on suspicion of the offense of drug possession, and I wonder whether there are separate sentencing guidelines.
