The Seoul High Court upheld a judgment ordering an insurer to pay 300 million won to each of two surviving family members of the late Air Force Master Sgt. Lee Ye-ram. Lee died by suicide in 2021 after suffering sexual violence while serving in the military, and the court ruled that the insurance claim did not begin at her death.
It treated February 2023, when the family received official notice recognizing her death as occurring in the line of duty, as the relevant starting point for the limitation period.
