Prime Minister Han Duck-soo presided over a Cabinet meeting in Seoul, where a motion was passed calling for a reconsideration of four bills aimed at changing the governance structure of public broadcasters. The motion, passed after the opposition-controlled National Assembly railroaded the bills, will be sent to President Yoon Suk Yeol for endorsement. If approved, the bills will be sent back to the Assembly for a revote. The bills aim to increase the number of board directors at public broadcasters KBS, MBC, and EBS, and to change the rules governing the decision-making body at state broadcasting regulator Korea Communications Commission. The opposition Democratic Party argues that the bills are necessary to ensure the government cannot influence broadcast media, while the ruling People Power Party contends that the bills are meant to increase the presence of pro-opposition figures on the boards of public broadcasters. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo criticized the opposition for ignoring the reasons for the legislation's reconsideration and accused it of further violating the president's appointment powers. He emphasized the need for public broadcasting to restore public trust and establish its independence, fairness, and public nature, and expressed concerns that the amendment bills could worsen public broadcasting's biased nature.
