The judge said, "The request for the submission of the list of all members is not an epidemiological investigation determined by the Infectious Disease Prevention Act and Enforcement Ordinance, but a preliminary preparation stage for an epidemiological investigation, so the submission of the missing list cannot be punished for violation of the law."
He also pleaded not guilty to hierarchical public service charges, saying, "It is difficult to say that the request for the submission of the full list is in the preliminary preparation stage of quarantine, and because it is not the quarantine itself, it is difficult to say that we simply did not respond to requests for information.
