Ask what Korea is talking about.

The National Assembly, led by the ruling Democratic Party, passed a bill Friday calling for a special counsel probe into allegations of fabricated indictments targeting President Lee Jae Myung and others, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The bill, introduced by the ruling party, mandates an inquiry into allegations of malicious prosecution under the previous Yoon Suk Yeol administration. It passed a parliamentary subcommittee on Wednesday and a standing committee on Thursday before the plenary vote. The main opposition People Power Party has called for President Lee's impeachment and the resumption of his criminal trials in protest, while the ruling party dismisses claims the bill is unconstitutional.
