Song Young-gil, chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee from the Democratic Party, explained, "Although the National Assembly Act requires a 20-day waiting period for committee submission in the case of Representative Jeong's resolution, it will be submitted after committee approval due to urgent and unavoidable reasons."

After the agenda was submitted, Chairman Song added, "This resolution needs to be processed urgently, so a revised alternative was created," and submitted the chairman's alternative resolution at the plenary meeting.
