On January 3rd, 2022, the Fair Trade Commission reviewed the player contracts of Korean professional football clubs and corrected unfair terms and conditions, significantly strengthening the player's portrait rights. The Korea Professional Football Federation regulation, which attributed the player's portrait rights to the club, was corrected by acquiring only the right to use. In this regard, people’s interest in portrait rights of athletes and minor athletes has grown. The right of portrait is the right to take a picture of oneself and exhibit or distribute it, and to file an objection and to claim compensation for damages if another person takes a picture and displays or distributes it without the consent of the person who is taken in the picture and who is the subject. This also happens to athletes who are minors that is under 18 years old in Korea.. However, in the portrait right, exceptions are recognized in certain cases to the principle that others should not infringe on the portrait or portrait-photo of the subject without the consent of the person who is the subject of photo. A representative case is the case of becoming a subject of social interest. For example, when a spectator who saw Yuna Kim who won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics on the ice rink and took a picture of the medal ceremony, and later posted the video on his/her Facebook page, or when a media company writes an article and shows the photos of Yuna Kim in the news. An example is proceeding without the consent of the individual player. Comparatively, looking at the example of Germany, in recognizing such an exception of the consent of the person who is the subject of photo, Germany had a judgment theory based on the concept of a suggestive person and a judgment based on the concept of a topical event. Judgment according to the conventional concept of suggestive person ‘was’ majority theory and precedent. Then, under the influence of the Caroline decision of the European Court of Human Rights(ECHR), the concept of topical event was adopted by the German Federal Court, and judgment based on the existing concept of topical person was discarded. To this end, 'information value for the public' was presented as a criterion for legal interests based on the differentiated protection principle. Accordingly, in the existing judgment standard, if an athlete became a famous athlete, an exception to be reported without consent was granted in the right of his portrait, but now the athlete's consent only if the photo is related to a topical event that has informational value for the public. Exceptions related to the player's portrait rights have been recognized even without the consent of the person who is the subject of player's portrait. In the portrait rights of minors, it is particularly problematic whether the athlete, who is the subject, can give his or her own consent. This is because, in the case of minors, the legal representative, such as a person with parental authority, is recognized. Accordingly, in the case of a disagreement between the minor and the parental authority, it is a problem whose intention is determined based on the consent of the photographing, exhibition and distribution of the photograph. As a pure portrait right without personality, it is analyzed by dividing it into cases with only personality. This is because when examining portrait rights, the provisions of the Civil Act that restrict minors' right to consent are applied on the premise of property rights. Accordingly, in Germany in the case of pure portrait rights, the minor's right to consent is emphasized and recognized, and the age of exercise for this is also lowered to about 14 years old. In addition, in the case of portrait photos with property rights, the right of parental consent is recognized based on the provisions of the Civil Act(BGB). However, in cases which is covered by German data protection law, minors can give consent only from the age of 16.
