Bereaved Family of Late Master Sergeant Lee Ye-ram Wins Appeal Over Insurance Payout

The Seoul High Court has upheld a lower court ruling in favor of the bereaved family of the late Master Sergeant Lee Ye-ram, who took her own life after suffering sexual violence in the military in 2021, ordering an insurance company to pay 300 million won to each of the two family members in an insurance claim lawsuit.

The court stated that the statute of limitations for filing the insurance claim began not from the time of Master Sergeant Lee's death, but from February 2023, when the official decision recognizing her death as a death on duty was communicated.
