Article 33, Paragraph 2 of the Medical Service Act strictly limits qualifications for opening medical institutions to medical personnel, national and local governments, medical corporations, non-profit corporations, quasi-governmental organizations, etc., and Article 33, Paragraph 8 of the Medical Service Act prohibits the opening and operation of more than one medical institution. In addition, Article 20, Paragraph 1 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act stipulates that only a pharmacist or oriental pharmacist may open a pharmacy, and Article 21, Paragraph 1 restricts a pharmacist or oriental pharmacist to open only one pharmacy. However, with changes in technology and market structure, medical institutions and pharmacies with various operating forms and new profit structures are appearing, including existing MSOs (network hospitals), medical consumer cooperatives, and recently introduced factory pharmacies. When opening and operating a medical institution or pharmacy of this type, the issue of illegality under the above Medical Service Act and Pharmaceutical Affairs Act inevitably becomes an issue. When decisions regarding partnership, investment, and operation are made by several people, including non-medical personnel, in a medical institution, it must be reviewed whether the non-medical person is actually opening and operating the medical institution through the medical practitioner (commonly known as 'executive hospital'), whether it is the overlapping opening of the medical institution by the medical practitioner, and whether it is the accompanying license rental. Whether or not the act of opening a medical institution between a non-medical person and a medical person through an agreement such as a partnership constitutes an act of opening a medical institution by a non-medical person is determined by who has taken the lead in handling the opening and operation of the medical institution. Specifically, the basis is the entity that procured the opening funds, facilities and land, etc., the entity that made management decisions and personnel decisions, and the attribution of profits (whether in the form of regular salary). In the case of a medical corporation, there is a possibility of being recognized as an office-directed hospital, but the office-directed hospital must be recognized as a non-medical person opening and operating a medical institution by exploiting a medical corporation that only has an external form through illegal means. In other words, it is only recognized in a limited way in cases where a non-medical person abuses a medical corporation whose entity is not recognized due to lack of actual property contribution as a means of opening and operating a medical institution, or when the medical corporation's assets are unfairly leaked, thereby deviating from the public nature or non-commercial nature of the medical corporation. In the case of overlapping operation of a medical institution by a medical professional, the eligibility is determined by taking into consideration all circumstances, such as the entity of financing, such as the opening process and facilities or sites required for opening, the relationship between the person in charge of opening and other medical personnel designated as the actual establisher, the method of raising funds, the decision-making structure regarding management, the entity exercising command and supervision rights over practitioners, the form of distribution of operation results, and if there is a hospital management support company (MSO) operated by another medical professional, the amount of expenses incurred by the company and the transaction details. There are cases in which medical institutions are not recognized as overlapping operations if they are judged to be at the level of simple management support or investment. Non-medical personnel who open an office hospital or medical personnel who violate the regulations prohibiting multiple openings will be subject to heavy criminal punishment and administrative measures, and profits may be recovered under the National Health Insurance Act. Medical professionals who lend their names will also be subject to criminal punishment and administrative action. Looking at the example of pharmacies, there is a possibility that partnerships or investments between pharmacists and non-pharmacists, partnerships between multiple pharmacists, pharmacy franchise businesses, and operation of factory pharmacies through partnerships may be recognized as license rentals in violation of the one-person-one-site operation principle. The Pharmaceutical Affairs Act prohibits all acts of leasing a license, receiving a license, or arranging for it. Even if the borrower is a pharmacist, license lending may result in criminal punishment, administrative disposition, and recovery of unjust profits under the National Health Insurance Act. In addition to the criminal punishment and administrative disposition described above, there is room for additional problems to arise, such as tax-related disputes and civil disputes over operation and profit attribution. Therefore, if you wish to open and operate a medical institution or pharmacy through partnership, investment, or a new business model, you need to be mindful of whether there are elements that violate the Medical Service Act and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act in various areas such as branding or franchising, capital investment and cost expenditure decisions, and management consulting services.[View full article] [Contribution] Legal issues to keep in mind when opening and operating new types of hospitals and pharmacies (link)

A total ban without certification procedures and standards… A report was filed with the Fair Trade Commission stating that the Korean Bar Association's regulations on restrictions on artificial intelligence (AI) advertising, "possible violation of the Fair Trade Act," are excessive regulations and require sanctions. Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 22nd that it submitted a report on prohibited acts by business organizations containing the Korean Bar Association's violation of the Fair Trade Act to the Fair Trade Commission. Earlier this year, Daeryun unveiled 'AI Daeryun', an artificial intelligence-based legal service developed in-house, and began full-scale operation. In response, the Korean Bar Association expressed its intention to take disciplinary action, saying that it would take strict action after determining the facts. Daeryun later filed a constitutional appeal with the Constitutional Court, saying, “The Bar Association’s advertising regulations are infringing on the freedom to practice one’s profession.” Currently, the Constitutional Court has referred the case to the full court and is currently hearing it. According to Article 5 of the ‘Rules on Lawyer Advertisements’ established by the Korean Bar Association, lawyers, etc. can directly use programs such as artificial intelligence to allow consumers to use programs such as artificial intelligence. You cannot advertise in a way or content that allows you to use it or connects consumers to programs such as artificial intelligence. In addition, through Article 6 of the 'Regulations on Lawyer Advertising', which sets out specific details regarding the relevant rules, the Korean Bar Association stipulated that, in accordance with Article 5 of the Rules, lawyers, etc., who advertise the fact that they use artificial intelligence in their work, must register the relevant artificial intelligence system in advance in accordance with the Association's certification standards. Daeryun judged that the Korean Bar Association's regulation of artificial intelligence advertising directly violated the 'minimum regulation principle', which is a core principle of lawyer advertising regulation. In addition, the Korean Bar Association stipulates that advertising of lawyers' use of AI programs must follow the association's certification standards, but it was pointed out that the current lack of proper certification standards is resulting in the same result as a complete ban. Attorney Gye-Jun Son, who submitted a report to the Fair Trade Commission on this day, said, "Through AI technology, even information-vulnerable groups can receive quick and accurate legal counseling. “We tried to allow it, but the Korean Bar Association’s current regulations make it impossible to disclose this to the outside world, seriously limiting consumers’ right to know.” Attorney Son said, “The legal market is also in an era where innovation is needed. In the global legal market such as the US and the UK, AI-based legal services are already becoming common, and consumers have the right to receive better services.” He added, “Even though there is an opportunity to improve this through AI and digital technology, the Bar Association is regulating it.” He emphasized, “This report stems from the hope that the legal market will grow healthily through reasonable regulations.” #Korean Bar Association #AI Advertisement #Fair Trade Commission Park Seok-ho (haitai2000@ikbc.co.kr)[View full article] KBC Gwangju Broadcasting - "Time for innovation in the legal market"...

The amount of insurance fraud discovered has exceeded 1 trillion won for three consecutive years, emerging as a social problem. Particularly, special caution is required as a careless attempt to receive more insurance money in the event of a car accident or hospital treatment can lead to irreversible consequences. According to the Financial Supervisory Service, the amount of insurance fraud detected last year reached KRW 1.1164 trillion, of which fraud related to automobile insurance and accident and disease insurance accounted for more than 70% of the total. Attorney Kim Gwang-deok of Daeryun Law Firm said, "Special laws apply in the case of insurance fraud, so a more careful response is needed." “There is,” he explained. Q. What are the most common types of auto and medical insurance fraud? A. The most common form of auto insurance fraud is intentionally causing an accident or exaggerating the damage from the actual accident and charging excessive repair costs or settlements. Typical examples include unnecessary long-term hospitalization for minor accidents or demanding settlement money by adding additional passengers. In the case of medical insurance fraud, there are many methods of making up documents to make it seem like you received treatment that you did not actually receive, or falsely being hospitalized even when there is no need for hospitalization. Recently, there has been an increasing trend of organized fraud in which certain hospitals and patients collude to intensively provide expensive, non-covered treatments and collect actual loss insurance money.Q. What is the difference between the ‘Special Insurance Fraud Prevention Act’ and general fraud crimes?A. The general crime of fraud is committed when 'delivering property or obtaining property interest by deceiving a person', but the Special Act on Prevention of Insurance Fraud has a narrower and clearer scope by specifying as a punishment subject to 'the act of claiming insurance money by deceiving the insurer regarding the occurrence, cause, or details of an insurance accident' itself. The biggest difference is the level of punishment. According to Article 8 of the Special Act on Prevention of Insurance Fraud, a sentence of up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to 50 million won is prescribed. Repeat offenders are subject to aggravated charges, and if the amount of gain is more than 500 million won, they can be sentenced to life imprisonment or up to 5 years in prison according to the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, etc., so they are punished more severely than general fraud charges.Q. What punishment will you receive if you are accused of being an accomplice by following the recommendations of a hospital or vehicle maintenance company?A. Even if the person did not intend to do so, he or she may be punished as an accomplice if he or she tolerated the offer from the hospital or maintenance company or was fully aware that it was fraudulent and took advantage of it. It is not uncommon for people to complacently follow the lead thinking 'everyone else does this too' and end up receiving the same punishment as the main culprit. Insurance fraud is interpreted as an aggravating element of the crime of fraud. The court determines the sentence by comprehensively considering whether or not the person initiated the crime, the degree of participation, and the size of the profit obtained, but even simple participation can result in a fine or even imprisonment. If you have been wrongfully implicated, it is very important to prove that there was no intent and to legally explain the specific circumstances that led to your participation in the crime.Q. How should I make a statement to avoid any disadvantage when I receive a call from the insurance company's Special Investigation Unit (SIU) to come for an investigation? A. The investigation by the insurance company's Special Investigation Unit (SIU) can actually be seen as a previous stage of the police investigation. All statements at this stage are recorded and can be used as extremely detrimental evidence in future criminal proceedings. Therefore, it is absolutely prohibited to hastily deny the charges or to speculate and state facts that you do not remember. You must answer clearly that you do not know anything about anything you are not sure about, and carefully consider what legal consequences your statement may have. From this stage, it is safe to prepare for expected questions and determine the direction of your statement with the help of a lawyer. It is also a suspect's natural right to be investigated in the presence of a lawyer. Q. A solution that can be resolved through acknowledging some of the charges and reaching an agreement with the insurance company is: A. When it is difficult to deny a charge because there is clear evidence, it is important to acknowledge the crime and show sincere remorse. In particular, returning the entire amount of unfairly obtained insurance money to the insurance company and reaching an amicable settlement serves as the most important reason for reducing the sentence at trial. The key to reaching an agreement with an insurance company is not just returning money, but the process of getting the insurance company to submit an agreement requesting leniency from the suspect to an investigative agency or court. In the case of insurance fraud, the amount of damage is usually large, so settlement is often considered to avoid imprisonment. However, if there are multiple insurance companies, you must be careful because civil claims for refund of unjust enrichment may result.

Due to the strengthening of US visa screening, managing personnel on overseas business trips has emerged as a key risk in corporate management. Following the arrest and detention of Koreans in Georgia, the number of cases where valid visa holders are denied entry at the airport has increased. The U.S. State Department recently significantly reduced the scope of interview exemptions for non-immigrant visa applicants. Face-to-face screening is also mandatory for visas related to business activities, such as short-term business (B1), expatriate (L1), and investment (E2). As the interview location was limited to nationality or residence, it became difficult to conduct a quick interview through a third country. These changes are directly affecting the business trip and investment schedules of global companies. Accordingly, large domestic law firms are strengthening their organizations dedicated to visas and immigration. We are expanding practical advice, including verification of a company's overseas dispatch purpose, crisis response manuals, and English interview coaching. It is a move to prevent legal risks that may arise throughout the entire process of corporate activities. The entire team is denied entry by saying 'work' instead of 'inspection'. Among these, Daeryun Law Firm (Yuhan)'s case of establishing a 'dual response system' is attracting attention. Daeryun has a structure that simultaneously carries out domestic proactive management and overseas local response. In Korea, we provide industry-specific visa risk diagnosis, stay management solutions, and English Q&A interview coaching. Overseas, New York, Washington D.C. Based at the office, local lawyers provide real-time connection to visa screening, immigration procedures, investment advice, etc. Daeryun's U.S. attorney Mia Kim (Washington, D.C.) explained, "A U.S. visa goes beyond simple entry permission and is a process of evaluating a company's trustworthiness." Attorney Kim recently introduced a case in which a technical staff member of a large company went on a business trip to inspect U.S. facilities and was stopped at the immigration screening. These workers entered the country using ESTA and expressed 'inspection' as 'working', which was misunderstood as illegal work. In the end, all members of the business trip were denied entry. Attorney Kim later presented a case in which the B1 visa was approved again by supplementing the purpose of the business trip and supporting documents, emphasizing that "one word can determine the success or failure of entry." In another case, the head of a domestic mid-sized company was denied ESTA entry due to a past minor criminal record. Attorney Kim prepared information about the details of the case and the absence of risk of recidivism, went through the waiver process at the U.S. Embassy, and received approval for a B1/B2 visa. Attorney Kim said, "Recently, there has been an increase in visa inquiries from subcontractors of large corporations that have established corporations in the U.S. and dispatched personnel," and added, "There is a trend in which corporate transparency, employment plans, and business purposes are also evaluated. It is important to respond in advance to various variables." Recently, in the global market, visa screening has been strengthened and overseas business personnel are responding to local regulations, etc. Complex risks occur simultaneously. Accordingly, the role of law firms is becoming a strategic partner that helps companies achieve sustainable management.

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 22nd that it signed a strategic business agreement (MOU) with Veritas Collegiate Academy Seoul (VCA Seoul), a prestigious private school in the United States, to expand its global education and law convergence business. The agreement ceremony held in the conference room of Daeryun's Yeouido headquarters on the 21st was attended by Daeryun's representative attorneys Kim Kuk-il and Park Dong-il and American attorney Son Dong-hu, while working staff from VCA Seoul, including General Director Brian Kim, Corporate Representative Jang Jae-ho, and Center Director Shin Ga-in, attended.

Based on its local education network in the U.S., VCA Seoul supports students wishing to study abroad in the U.S. to enter prestigious U.S. universities and focuses on nurturing global talent with both academic capabilities and character education. Daeryun recently established law firms in New York and Washington D.C., hired local lawyers, and provides a variety of solutions to individual and corporate customers based on high expertise in the fields of overseas investment, immigration, and international disputes. Through this MOU, both organizations plan to focus on building a stable study abroad environment by providing integrated legal and visa-related support to students and families preparing to study in the United States. Specifically, we plan to actively cooperate to △ expand legal advice and visa litigation services for those wishing to study in the U.S. △ provide comprehensive legal consulting for VCA students and their families △ link consulting and services related to housing for international students, such as purchasing and renting houses in the U.S. △ enhance brand value by jointly hosting English and American culture seminars. Brian Kim, CEO of Veritas College It Academy, said, “VCA Seoul goes beyond providing prestigious education in the U.S., and has sought all-round support to help students continue their study abroad safely and successfully. We are pleased that through this agreement with Daeryun, we will be able to resolve all legal and housing issues that students and their families may experience in advance and provide a stable study environment.” Kim Kook-il, CEO of Daeryun Management, emphasized, “This cooperation with VCA Seoul is an important stepping stone to expand Daeryun’s expertise into the global education service area. In the short term, we will strengthen the immigration and visa litigation capabilities essential for those wishing to study abroad, and in the long term, we will secure international competitiveness by building a new business model that combines education and law.”[View full article] Daeryun, MOU with Veritas College It Academy in the US...

A teenager who paid money to purchase a link to a Telegram data room that distributes adult content was put on trial on charges of purchasing child and youth sexual exploitation material, but was found not guilty after explaining that he did not know that child and youth sexual exploitation material was posted in the data room. According to the legal community on the 22nd, the Wonju Branch of the Chuncheon District Court found Group A, a teenage male indicted on charges of violating the Act on Sexual Protection of Children and Adolescents, not guilty on the 26th of last month. The sentence was handed down. Mr. A was brought to trial in June last year on charges of purchasing a link to a Telegram data sharing room containing a large number of sexual exploitation materials of children and adolescents. In the data room, about 1,100 files, including sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, were posted. Mr. A denied the charges, saying he did not know whether there was sexual exploitation of children and teenagers in the data room. It is said that he only purchased an access link from the administrator to view general adult content after seeing an advertisement for a data room posted on a Telegram channel, and was not aware that child and adolescent sexual exploitation material was posted. The court also ruled that it could not be concluded that Mr. A knew that the data room contained child and adolescent sexual exploitation material. This is because the capture of the data room advertisement submitted as evidence by the investigative agency was collected after the day Mr. A purchased the link, so it is difficult to view it as exactly the same as what Mr. A saw, and there was no evidence such as the conversation that Mr. A had with the data room manager. Attorney Gil Se-cheol of the Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, “For the indictment to be proven, the actor must have tolerated the possibility of a crime occurring,” and “The notice at the time when Mr. “We were able to receive a not guilty verdict by faithfully explaining that it was difficult to recognize that there was exploitation material.” Reporter Jeong Cheol-wook[View full article] A teenager indicted for violating the ‘Scam Law’ by entering a paid adult chat room is found not guilty… Court “Cannot determine whether it recognizes sexual exploitation of children and adolescents” (Shortcut)

In practice, we often hear stories like, “I lent you money, but it was a scam.” However, not everyone who does not receive a loan back is a fraud. For a fraud to be established, there must be a deceptive act by the other party, a mistake by the victim, and the delivery of money due to the mistake. In other words, fraud is committed only if you borrow money by lying even though you did not have the intention or ability to repay it at the time of borrowing the money. On the other hand, if there was a willingness or ability to repay, but the borrower was unable to repay due to worsening economic conditions, this is nothing more than a simple civil default. The problem is that in reality, the boundary is very vague. For example, when borrowing money, you said, “I will repay you when I get my salary next month,” but in reality, if you did not have a job or income, the court may view this as an act of deception. On the other hand, if you are unable to repay due to a change in economic circumstances or an unexpected situation after borrowing, such as if you borrowed money to expand your business but are unable to repay the money due to an unexpected transaction stoppage or failure to collect bonds, it is only a civil default. If you were already in an over-indebted state at the time of the borrowing, or if you borrowed money by hiding it despite not having the intention or ability to repay, and if the other party would not have lent you the money if you had been truthfully informed of the purpose of the borrowed money or the method of raising funds, you are guilty of fraud. Ultimately, a crime of fraud is established. The key to judgment is the intention and situation at the time of borrowing money. It is necessary for a person lending money to understand the other party's property status, income, and existing debts at the time of lending money, and to record the circumstances, purpose, and conditions of the borrowing. In addition, the person who borrows money also needs to secure data to prove that he or she had the intention and ability to repay at the time of borrowing, and if he or she later repaid part of the interest or principal, this is important evidence that there was no intention to deceive from the beginning. Fraud and default have different starting points than the results. In other words, what is more important than the result of ‘failure to repay’ is ‘what intentions and circumstances existed at the time of borrowing’. Therefore, when making financial transactions, it is necessary to clearly record the circumstances, purpose, and conditions of the borrowing and to understand the other party's economic situation to prevent disputes and provide post-facto verification.[View full article] [Expert Contribution] Is it fraud or simple default?

Prosecutors accused of confining and molesting a woman who had been with her at a drinking party: “There is no evidence that he was forcibly brought in” A man in his 20s who was accused of dragging a drunk woman to his house and confining her was cleared by the prosecution. According to the legal community on the 21st, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office decided not to indict Mr. A, a man in his 20s who was transferred on charges of confinement and forcible molestation on the 19th of last month. Mr. A was accused of forcibly dragging B, a drunken woman in her 30s, to his residence last May and confining her for about three hours. However, Mr. A completely denied the charges. He stated that he was also drunk at the time and only came to his senses after returning home, and that he only brought him home because Mr. B was dozing off in the hallway. Mr. A explained, “The landlord lived upstairs, and I was concerned that there would be trouble because Mr. B was right in front of the front door, so I agreed to go into the house.” The prosecution found that Mr. A was not guilty. The prosecution said, “As a result of checking CCTV, it is consistent with the suspect’s statement that he does not remember anything from the time the accuser was present,” and added, “There is no clear evidence in the recording at the time that the suspect forcibly brought the suspect home.” Attorney Ahn Kwon-seop of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, explained, “For an act to be considered a crime, it must cause shame or disgust, and confinement must make it impossible to leave a specific area, but neither of these applies in our client’s case.” He added, “Through the recording at the time, we explained the difference between ‘passing out’ and ‘alcohol black out,’ which is fragmentary memory loss, and we were able to receive a non-indictment by faithfully explaining that contact with the client was limited to assistance, etc.” Reporter Seohyun Lee (sunshine@kyeonggi.com)[View full article] "I saw you dozing off in the hallway..."

A man in his 30s who was handed over to the prosecution on charges of opening the common front door and visiting the victim after opening the common front door and visiting the victim's residence was cleared of charges. On the 2nd of last month, the Busan District Prosecutors' Office decided not to indict Mr. A, a man in his 30s who was sent on charges of trespassing. Mr. A entered the apartment through the common front door on two occasions in August and went to the front of the victim B's house. He was accused of visiting. Mr. B claimed that Mr. A came to threaten him even though he had expressed his refusal several times. On the other hand, Mr. A denied the charges. I sent a text message to Mr. B before the visit and explained that I intended to meet him for the purpose of conversation, not threats. Mr. A claimed, “I went to the residence of Mr. B to resolve misunderstandings and express his thoughts face-to-face with Mr. B’s family,” and that “the victim did not clearly express his intention to refuse by actively communicating with him until just before the visit.” The prosecution ruled that Mr. A was not guilty. The prosecution said, “The suspect entered through the common front door by calling the household rather than entering a password,” and added, “Considering the fact that the victim came down in the elevator with the suspect or the suspect attempted to enter the victim’s house, it is difficult to say that there was an intention or inception of the home invasion.” Kim Jin-won, an attorney at law firm Daeryun who represented Mr. “It must be based on behavior,” he said. “He sincerely explained that Mr. A’s behavior was not an abnormal method of access.” Digital Content Team[View full article] “Household call, not abnormal entry”… Man in his 30s acquitted of home invasion charges (Click here)
