[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Following the passage of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (PCC) Act amendment in the National Assembly, opposition party members serving as PCC Chief candidate recommendation committee members have announced that they are considering legal actions such as filing a constitutional review petition.


Lee Heon, a lawyer and a PCC Chief recommendation committee member from the People Power Party, sent a statement to reporters on the 10th, saying, "As a form of protest against the procedurally and substantively unconstitutional and unjust PCC Chief amendment legislation, we are considering the option of immediate resignation."



He also stated that after participating in the recommendation committee, "We are discussing with the opposition party the possibility of filing a lawsuit to confirm the invalidity of the resolution and to suspend its execution, as well as requesting a constitutional review petition against the amended PCC Act."
