National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik said he will launch a parliamentary investigation process to investigate allegations of external pressure on the death of a corporal while being pushed by the opposition party within this year's regular session of the National Assembly.
The people's power is an anti-democratic act that pushes without consensus between the ruling and opposition parties," he said.

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik asked the ruling and opposition parties to complete the formation of a special committee to push for a parliamentary investigation into the death of Chae Sang-byung by the 27th.
Although the ruling and opposition parties failed to reach an agreement, they explained the reason for the request, saying that the demands and consent of the people, which are the object of the agreement, have already been confirmed.

He urged the ruling party, which has opposed the parliamentary investigation, to participate, and said that he plans to adopt a plan for the parliamentary investigation and vote at the plenary session within the regular session of the National Assembly by the 10th of next month.
The People's Power protested that there would be no more cases of squeezing dry towels, saying it would refuse to conduct a parliamentary investigation that only produces political strife.
The investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is underway, and it has also been dealt with in-depth questions on pending issues and parliamentary audits at the standing committee level, but he shot back at what else he was going to do.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party opposed the special prosecution and the parliamentary investigation, making it clear that the ruling party admitted to being an accomplice in the death of Chae.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has strengthened Chairman Woo, claiming that the investigation is difficult due to the obstruction of the presidential office.

As a result of the re-vote of the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor's Act, the plenary session on the 28th is expected to report the impeachment motion by Lee Chang-soo, chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, and others.
The confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties is expected to become steeper as the issue of the parliamentary investigation into the corporal ∀ is also intertwined.
