The previous afternoon, the amendment to the Prosecutors' Office Act was submitted to the plenary session of the National Assembly, and an unlimited debate was held. The so-called filibuster, an unlimited debate, ended about seven hours after it began, as the plenary session limited the temporary session period to the 27th.

During the unlimited debate, Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People Power Party, Kim Jong-min, member of the Democratic Party, Kim Woong of the People Power Party, and Ahn Min-seok of the Democratic Party spoke in that order. Floor leader Kwon Seong-dong and Kim Woong opposed the bill, while Kim Jong-min and Ahn Min-seok supported it.

The National Assembly Act stipulates that when an unlimited debate ends due to the expiration of the session, a vote must be held immediately at the next plenary session. Accordingly, it is expected to be processed at the plenary session convened on the 30th.
