Jeon Ju-hye, the floor spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated, "This morning at 10 a.m., there was a meeting between the floor leaders of both the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party in the Speaker's office. We discussed the normalization of the National Assembly and agreed to meet again in the afternoon to continue the discussion. However, immediately after the morning meeting ended, at 12:18 p.m., the Democratic Party unilaterally notified that a full meeting of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee would be held at 1 p.m. today to review the subordinate laws."

Jeon said, "The agenda included the Medical Service Act, the Large and Small-Medium Enterprise Win-Win Act, the National Education Committee Act, the Social Service Agency Act, and the Loss Compensation Act, which were either unilaterally processed in the relevant standing committees or require careful additional review," and criticized, "This behavior by the Democratic Party is an act that pours cold water on cooperation."

He asked, "We ask the Democratic Party, was the morning negotiation between the floor leaders of both parties just a disguise?" He added, "We emphasize once again the need for the best efforts for dialogue and compromise," and warned strongly, "The public will not tolerate the Democratic Party's parliamentary dictatorship."

Opposition members of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee protested the ruling party's unilateral convening after the meeting was called at 1 p.m. Accordingly, the committee was adjourned citing discussions between the ruling and opposition party secretaries as the reason.
