Han said the bill would cause “immense” financial burdens on the government and eventually lead to further drops in rice prices.
The Democratic Party said the bill is necessary to determine the full details of Yoon’s martial law decree.

Democratic lawmaker and spokesperson Noh Jongmyun quickly criticized Han, warning him “not to cross a line,” adding, “We’ll immediately drag him down if he’s found to have collaborated with the rebellion.”
