President Yoon Suk Yeol recently vetoed a bill that aimed to require a special counsel investigation into the Defense Ministry's and military's handling of a Marine's death. However, the bill was ultimately rejected at the National Assembly on Thursday amidst growing bipartisan conflict. The revote saw 194 votes in favor and 104 against, with one abstention out of 299 Assembly members. This action came about two weeks after President Yoon exercised his veto power. The bill, now scrapped, sought to appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations of inappropriate interference by Yoon's office and the Defense Ministry in the military's investigation into the death of Cpl. Chae Su-geun. Despite the outcome of the plenary session, the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea, which holds a majority in the parliament, is expected to draft and pass a similar bill in the near future. The ruling party has strongly opposed the special counsel probe bill, emphasizing ongoing investigations by the police and the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials. The scrapped bill was an updated version of a similar bill passed in May, and the opposition-led Assembly also tabled four controversial broadcasting bills following the revote on the special counsel investigation bill. The ruling party warned of protesting the move with a filibuster, similar to the one staged ahead of the opposition-led Assembly's passing of the special counsel bill earlier in the month.
