On October 25, the Democratic Party of Korea revealed plans to amend the proposed law against law distortion, aiming to reduce allegations of unconstitutionality as the bill is set to be discussed in the National Assembly. After a party meeting, spokesperson Baek Seung-ah announced that the revisions would focus on applying the law strictly to criminal cases while adding clarifications to the content to address concerns about its vagueness. Furthermore, the party has decided to officially adopt three judicial reform laws, including this law on distortion of law, as part of its agenda.

The law against law distortion, which is part of a broader judicial reform initiative by the Democratic Party, seeks to introduce penalties of up to ten years in prison for prosecutors or judges found to have distorted the law for unfair purposes or misinterpreted facts during investigations or trials. However, criticism has emerged about the vague and abstract definition of 'law distortion', raising concerns about potential misuse of the law and its constitutionality.

In a climate where judicial reform is a hot topic, the Democratic Party is seeking to balance implementing accountability within the judicial system while also addressing the fears of overreach and unclear legal provisions. This amendment could have significant implications for how legal professionals operate in Korea, especially under scrutiny to maintain fairness and integrity in legal proceedings.
