The main opposition Democratic Party-led (DP) bill for a special counsel probe into alleged interference regarding a report on the death of a Marine in 2023 was submitted to the plenary session of the National Assembly on Wednesday.

The bill was submitted by National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik and seeks to appoint a special prosecutor to uncover the truth into the allegations regarding an investigation that formed the basis of the report on the Marine Corporal's death.

Woo said that it has been almost a year since the young Marine died in the line of duty, and still no clear responsibility or truth has been revealed.

In response, the ruling People Power Party(PPP) began its filibuster as soon as the special probe bill was proposed.

Under the National Assembly Act, a filibuster can be ended after 24 hours if at least three-fifths of all parliament members consent to it. 

As a result, an interpellation session on economy scheduled for Wednesday has been canceled.
