 On April 28, 2011, the Supreme Court upheld the original ruling that fined victims 500,000 won for violating the Public Official Election Act.The Public Official Election Act prohibits prospective candidates from giving business cards or appealing for support in public places where many people, who are prescribed by the National Election Commission rules, come and go on subway stations, but Lee Jae-myung distributed 300 business cards as preliminary candidates in the district of Sanseong Station on Subway Line 8 in Sujeong-gu, Seongnam City in April 2010.In the June 13 local elections, the Supreme Court ruled that he was not involved in forced hospitalization of his brother again, considering that he was not legally involved in the abuse of authority, although there was a controversy over his acquittal in the first trial when he was sentenced to a fine of 3 million won or more for invalidity in the election.
