This article reviews legal issues focused on requirements of a pecuniary loss, an element of crime of breach of trust under Korea Criminal Code art. 355② which provides that "a person who administers another's business, obtains pecuniary advantage or causes a third person to do so from another in violation of ones duty, shall be punished by penal servitude for not more than five years or by a fine not exceeding fifteen million Won." Korean legal commentators have been split about the time, scope, and subjects to whom the property should be attributed regarding pecuniary loss as an element of breach of trust. The paper develops interpretative analysis as follows. First, breach of trust is completed when pecuniary losses are realized against interested parties of corporation such as share holders or creditors. Courts have ruled and majority of legal scholars have agreed that realization of pecuniary damages are not required but a specific danger to pecuniary damages is enough to complete breach of trust. This approach, however, views breach of trust as an endangerment offense in violation of the principle of legality against the provision of the article 355② which is a depriving offense. Second, as a result, pecuniary of losses should be realized for breach of trust to be completed, Otherwise, breach of trust ends up to an attempted crime. Based on these reasons, this article concludes that the time and scope of pecuniary losses in breach of trust should be strictly recognized.
