President Yoon Suk Yeol is currently under pressure from opposition leaders to refrain from using his veto power, as the decision on a bill requiring a special counsel to investigate alleged state interference in the death of a Marine soldier is imminent. The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea and other opposition figures have criticized Yoon's use of the veto power, emphasizing the urgency of promulgating the special probe bill and expressing concerns about his approach to governance and social cohesion. The fate of the bill, which was passed by the Democratic Party and awaits Yoon's approval, will be determined this week, with the potential for it to be returned to the National Assembly for another vote if vetoed. President Yoon's administration has faced allegations of meddling in the independent probe into the Marine soldier's death, leading to heightened tensions with the opposition parties. If the bill fails to receive presidential approval, it will be sent back to the National Assembly for a potential override vote, though the ruling People Power Party's majority makes it unlikely for the veto to be overturned. Yoon's use of the veto power has been a point of contention, with previous bills being vetoed without meeting the necessary threshold for override. The ongoing opposition control of the National Assembly means Yoon will continue to navigate a challenging political landscape until the end of his term in 2027.
