The Democratic Party of Korea 10held a full review in the subcommittee on bill review of the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee of a revision to the Criminal Procedure Act, with the abolition of supplemental investigation rights as its core.

The subcommittee meeting that day was held under Democratic Party leadership, without attendance from the People Power Party. The Democratic Party discussed the bill proposed by lawmaker Kim Yong-min, as well as the proposals submitted by lawmaker Park Eun-jung of the Rebuilding Korea Party and lawmaker Cha Gyu-geun of the Rebuilding Korea Party.
The Democratic Party is carrying out the review of the revision by forming a task force to speed up the handling of the bill. However, since the Jang Yoon-gi case, voices have continued to emerge within the legal community and the party warning about the side effects of abolishing supplemental investigation rights.
The opposition is protesting, calling the process a 'rushed abolition.' Due to differences between the ruling and opposition parties, the timing for submission to the plenary session and final passage has not yet been set.
The Democratic Party is 8·17 aiming to have the bill passed before the party convention. The specific voting schedule for the bill and whether it will be brought to the plenary session will be announced later based on decisions by the subcommittee and the full committee.
