In a press conference held on the 18th, Han Byeong-do emphasized the urgency of legislative action, stating that using all available means would be paramount to normalize parliamentary functions and promptly handle essential livelihood bills. He indicated intentions to request the National Assembly Speaker to convene sessions starting on the 24th, aiming to process important bills such as the Child Allowance Act and Emergency Medical Act by the end of the month. Han is responding to President Lee Jae-myung’s earlier criticisms of the government’s legislative speed, asserting that legislative progress is critical for effective governance.

Furthermore, Han Byeong-do announced the transition of all standing committees into a state of emergency legislation, looking to achieve substantial legislative outcomes. Highlighting a commitment to ongoing reforms, he reiterated important tasks including revisions to corporate law and various judicial reform laws. His agenda also indicates a commitment to address societal reforms in response to the public’s concerns, pledging to ensure that critical reform bills are processed in a timely manner, setting the stage for a focused legislative agenda throughout March and April.

To bolster this initiative, Han warned the opposition party, the People Power Party, against potential filibusters or obstruction tactics in the National Assembly. He posed a pointed question about their stance on administrative integration between Daejeon and Chungnam, implying that their opposition might be politically motivated. This situation reveals a tense political landscape as the ruling party seeks to mobilize legislative momentum while navigating challenges from the opposition, with significant implications for the administration's reform agenda and the overall governance in Korea.
