The scope of crimes that can be referred to conciliation is wider than our system. In the postponement (suspension) of the opening of a public lawsuit; suspension of prosecution/indictment is recorded in the suspect's criminal record, and the only way the suspect can appeal against the postponement decision is to individually apply to the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Korea.
