The Democratic Party of Korea is interpreted to have intended to prevent the suspension of the Communications Commission's functions by having the dismissal proposal approved before the impeachment motion against Chairman Lee is processed in the plenary session.

The Communications Commission had been operating with a two-member system consisting of Chairman Lee and Commissioner Lee Sang-in. Moreover, if the impeachment motion against Chairman Lee is passed by the National Assembly, the chairman's duties would be suspended for six months until the Constitutional Court's judgment, making the suspension of the Commission's functions inevitable.
