In addition, six opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, re-issued the Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act, which removed the opposition's veto power from the special prosecutor's recommendation and added the subject of the investigation.

Kim Yong-min, the deputy floor leader of the Democratic Party, said after submitting the bill to the National Assembly's bill department, he changed the special prosecution to a method where the president appoints one out of two if the chief justice of the Supreme Court recommends two people, rather than the opposition party recommends it.

The investigation also added "foreign exchange crimes," which mean crimes that threaten the existence of the state by secretly conspiring with foreign countries, and the investigation manpower was reduced by 50 people and the period was reduced by 20 days.

The opposition party plans to hold a plenary session on the 14th or 16th to deal with the Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act.
