In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea is reportedly considering reducing the number of investigations under the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act and allowing a third party to recommend a special prosecutor.

A Democratic Party official said in a phone call with YTN that it is also open to amendments to reduce the subject of the investigation, focusing on the controversy over Kim's stock price manipulation and Myung Tae-kyun, who is suspected of intervening in the nomination.

He also mentioned that if the independent counsel law can be passed, the method of recommending the independent counsel, which the ruling party raised issue with, can be done by a third party, not by the existing Democratic Party.

The official explained that if the ruling party changes what it sees as a "poisonous clause," the cause for rejecting the special prosecution will be reduced.
