At the 1st plenary session of the 414th National Assembly (extraordinary session) held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul on the 2nd, the ‘Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byeong Act‘ (a bill regarding the appointment of a special prosecutor to uncover the truth about obstruction of the investigation of Marines killed in the line of duty and concealment of incidents) was passed by the opposition party alone.

While the President’s Office has announced that it will exercise its right to reconsider (veto) the ‘Special Prosecutor Act on Corporal Chae’ passed under the leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea, some in the ruling party are raising the theory of conditional acceptance such as ‘investigation first, special prosecution later’. . There was an underlying concern that President Yoon Seok-yeol’s exercise of the veto of the 10th bill could act as a major negative factor in public sentiment, which was confirmed by the April 10 general elections, and could act as a fatal blow to securing momentum for government affairs. The President’s Office maintained the position that the problems with the passage of the Special Prosecution Act were sufficiently explained, and drew a line at the theory of conditional acceptance as “a story that has gone too far.”

Lee Yang-soo, senior vice-president of the People Power Party, said on the 6th, “The Democratic Party of Korea cannot trust the Corruption Investigation Office, so let’s conduct a special investigation right now. (We) said in advance, ‘Let’s wait for the investigation of the Corruption Investigation Office for three months, and if it fails (properly) then, let’s conduct a special investigation then.’ “I am making a promise,” he said publicly. He continued, “If we just slightly adjust the period and scale, we can resolve the issues that the public has suspicions about, but isn’t doing it unilaterally like that just a ploy by the Democratic Party to create a government that produces vetoes?” . Even though People Power Party floor leader Yoon Jae-ok previously expressed a strong stance, saying, “We have no choice but to suggest the right to request a reconsideration (to Yongsan),” Chief Lee is raising the theory of conditional acceptance because if the exercise of the veto becomes a reality, the “frame of non-communication” will spread and the ruling party will be unable to do so. This reflects the sense of crisis that it could act as a major negative factor.

The President’s Office initially took a negative stance on the theory of conditional acceptance. A high-ranking official in the Presidential Office said, “This story has gone too far,” and “the probability is low.” However, if the argument for conditional acceptance spreads within the ruling party, concerns will inevitably deepen.

It is known that President Yoon plans to hold a press conference on the 9th anniversary of his inauguration and explain the unfairness of the Special Prosecutor Act on Corporal Chae. It is known that President Yoon maintains a strong opposition to the Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byeong Act. A high-ranking official in the Presidential Office said, “At this press conference, wouldn’t President Yoon calmly tell the public that they should wait for the results of the investigation first and that we should look at the investigation calmly?” and added, “We are considering the tone of the message.”
