Kim Hyung-dong, a member of the National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee (Hwanowi) from the People Power Party, stated that he plans to request President Yoon Seok-yeol to exercise his right to veto (reconsideration request) regarding the decision to directly refer the "Yellow Envelope Act (Amendment to the Labor Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act)" to the plenary session of the National Assembly.

In an interview with MBC Radio's "Kim Jong-bae's Focus" on the 25th, Rep. Kim said, "If the Yellow Envelope Act goes to the plenary session, various methods such as filibuster (legal obstruction of parliamentary proceedings) or a constitutional court jurisdiction dispute trial can be considered. Ultimately, I am thinking of proposing even the president's veto right, or rather, a request for reconsideration, if I may apologize."

However, Rep. Kim added, "Even though it is a bill directly referred, there is still room for agreement," and said, "Within the floor, regarding this bill, and I understand the Nursing Act is similar, since the standing committee did not handle it smoothly, I think the leadership of both parties need to discuss it more deeply once again."

Rep. Kim criticized the opposition party's unilateral decision to directly refer the bill to the plenary session the day before, saying, "I believe the Democratic Party of Korea abused its majority power to change the situation because the recent Kim Nam-guk coin scandal and the money envelope party convention have made the situation difficult."

He added, "From the beginning, whether this law can solve the dual structure problem or the difficulties faced by subcontracted workers?since it cannot, I think the president will naturally judge it as unconstitutional and exercise the veto right because it is not appropriate legislation."
