The Democratic Party of Korea decided to push for Han's impeachment, believing that acting President Han Deok-soo virtually rejected the independent counsel for the rebellion and the independent counsel for Mrs. Kim.

It is intended to see whether Han appoints a constitutional judge recommended by the National Assembly, but the people's power protested, saying the opposition's intimidation politics has reached its peak.

After acting representative Han Deok-soo's remarks demanding a compromise between the ruling and opposition parties by delaying the introduction of the independent counsel and the first lady Kim to a Cabinet meeting, the Democratic Party reacted furiously.

He made it clear that he would no longer hesitate to pursue impeachment as he ignored the deadline for the ultimatum, saying that the investigation of rebellion cannot be the subject of compromise.

The Democratic Party held an emergency meeting of lawmakers and unanimously adopted the impeachment motion.

However, just before the impeachment motion, he turned his position, saying he would watch first, but analysts say he was conscious of the inevitable impact on the president's impeachment trial if there is no acting president who can finally appoint a constitutional judge.

The people's power, however, strongly opposed the Democratic Party's behavior, saying it was no different from a gangster.

The inner circle urged Lee Jae-myung to immediately withdraw his decision to push for impeachment, saying it is self-evident that he is trying to hold an early presidential election before the judicial risk grows.

Since Han is in a position equivalent to that of the president, he reiterated that it cannot be established with a majority approval, which is the standard for impeachment of the prime minister, and that 200 approval is the standard.

He also suggested a request for reconsideration, judging that the final purpose of the opposition's impeachment and the special prosecutor's offensive was not Han or Yoon's wife, but the entire conservative camp.

The impeachment of acting Han Deok-soo added to the controversy over "a quorum of provisional decisions."

There is a strong dispute between the ruling and opposition parties over whether the standard for impeachment of the president is 200 people in favor or 150 people for the standard of state affairs, which also remains a factor that aggravates political turmoil.
