At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Floor Leader Kim stated, "I hope to complete the legislation within this session, even if it means holding meetings every day."

He added, "Since both the ruling and opposition parties share the intention to pass the Serious Accidents Act, I believe that if we engage in intense discussions, we can achieve meaningful results," and "The ruling and opposition parties are having heated debates to create an effective bill."

He continued, "The Serious Accidents Act is a newly enacted law with many contentious issues, so in-depth review of the bill is necessary," and "We will listen to the opinions of various sectors, including the bereaved families of industrial accident victims, to create a practical law that can prevent serious accidents. I hope the People Power Party will also actively participate in the review process."
