The two major political parties are expected to clash over several bills in the coming months, despite recently reaching an agreement on the formation of parliamentary standing committees. The ruling People Power Party ended its boycott of the National Assembly after the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea took the majority of standing committee chair positions without their consent. Although the ruling party has now taken over the remaining committees, tensions are expected to persist as the Democratic Party plans to push through contentious bills using its majority in the Assembly. The Democratic Party aims to pass several controversial bills, including one mandating a special counsel probe into the Yoon administration's alleged interference in a Marine Corps' internal investigation. This has led to criticism from the ruling party, and the legislation and judiciary committee has already passed three contentious bills despite opposition from the ruling party lawmakers. An expert has warned that the rival parties need to work together to regain public trust, as continued conflict could lead to public backlash against the Democratic Party.
