이겼지만 졌다고 말하는 ‘윤석열 정보공개’ 판결 [왜냐면]

The news media reported that the Supreme Court had ruled in favor of a lawsuit seeking the release of information regarding government expenditures on movie and special activity costs during the previous administration. The original request was made by the Korea Taxpayers' Alliance in 2022. In the lower court, the presidential office claimed that the information was classified due to its potential to reveal details about the president's security personnel and size.

However, both the first and second-instance courts rejected this argument, stating that no such information could be found. The Supreme Court dismissed the case on June 24 of this year. The media covered the decision with headlines such as "Supreme Court overturns 'Yoo Je-seok's movie and dining expenses' ruling" and "Supreme Court reverses Yoo Je-seok's special activity expenditures ruling."

The court's conclusion was that there was no further information available to the presidential office. Essentially, the lawsuit concluded that the former presidential office no longer possessed the relevant records. This means that the litigation between the two parties came to an end.
