On the 5th, President Lee Jae-myung conducted a temporary cabinet meeting where the 'Three Judicial Laws' were deliberated and approved. These laws, which include provisions against the distortion of law, the ability to petition the Constitutional Court regarding justice rights, and an increase in the number of Supreme Court justices, were labeled 'evil laws' by the National Power Party (NPP). They demanded that President Lee exercise his veto power against these laws, denouncing them as a completion of Lee's dictatorship.

During the cabinet meeting held at Cheong Wa Dae (the Blue House), seven legislative proposals were deliberated, which received approval as they were presented. The key point of the law against distortion of law proposes that judges and prosecutors could face prison terms of up to ten years if they unlawfully distort laws to benefit others or to harm the rights of individuals during ongoing judicial proceedings. Meanwhile, the amendment concerning petitions allows citizens to seek justice from the Constitutional Court if they believe their fundamental rights have been violated, even after a Supreme Court ruling.

The NPP has previously termed the judicial laws as unconstitutional and infringing on judicial independence, urging President Lee to utilize his veto. However, Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson Kang Yu-jeong stated that it is preferable to pass and promulgate the laws as they have gone through the appropriate legislative process. In response, NPP leader Jang Dong-hyeok expressed deep concern over the situation, pledging to fight for the preservation of constitutional order and the protection of citizens' rights and freedoms against this legislative move.
