On the 25th, the Democratic Party of Korea finalized modifications to the proposed 'law distortion crime' bill, which they submitted to the National Assembly for a vote. The changes were prompted by criticism from both within and outside the party regarding the vague and abstract requirements of the original bill, initially prepared by the Judiciary and Legislation Committee in December of last year. Judicial authorities expressed concerns that even the modified version of the bill could lead to serious unintended consequences.

During a party meeting held just before the National Assembly session, the Democratic Party narrowed the scope of criminal acts subject to the law distortion crime to only criminal cases. The bill aims to penalize judges and prosecuting officials who distort the application of laws or tamper with evidence, potentially resulting in up to ten years of imprisonment. In light of these concerns, the party removed or adjusted abstract phrases such as 'significantly contrary to experience,' with Representative Cheon Joon-ho asserting that the modifications clarified the concept of law distortion crime.

Despite the rapid modification of the bill prior to its session in the National Assembly, concerns about potential unconstitutionality linger. After a five-hour meeting, nationwide court leaders concluded that serious side effects could still arise from the modified law distortion crime bill, indicating ongoing resistance to the measure. The opposing party, the People Power Party, has initiated a filibuster against the law distortion crime bill, aiming to slow down the legislative process as the Democratic Party plans to conclude the discussion and proceed to a vote within 24 hours.
