Ruling party pushes special counsel bill on fabricated indictments

The ruling Democratic Party of Korea said Tuesday it will seek parliamentary passage this week of a special counsel bill to investigate allegations of "fabricated indictments," including those involving President Lee Jae Myung, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The move sets up a plenary vote amid ongoing political tensions, with the party also pursuing a parliamentary probe into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae over impeachment calls. Korean media report the party is gearing up for a monthlong showdown with the opposition over the 821 trillion won budget, while a separate special counsel team searched a handball arena in a ballot shortage probe. Bloggers and café members have not been widely quoted on this specific bill, with coverage dominated by news outlets.
