The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea has put forth a controversial bill that calls for a special investigation into the handling of a young Marine's death by the administration of Yoon Suk Yeol. The bill was formally presented at a parliamentary session by National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik. This move follows a previous failure to table the bill and aims to probe alleged interference in a military investigation into the Marine's death. In response, the People Power Party initiated a filibuster to delay the bill's progress, while the Democratic Party, with a majority in the Assembly, is expected to pass the bill after the filibuster ends. The bill had previously been vetoed by President Yoon Suk Yeol, leading to ongoing tensions between the ruling and opposition parties. Furthermore, the Democratic Party's decision to propose the impeachment of four prosecutors has also added to the political friction.
