After the meeting, Floor leader Choo told reporters, "Regarding the special prosecutor act, the Democratic Party plans to push forward with a meeting on the 28th, and if the Speaker of the National Assembly convenes a plenary session, we will all gather without any hesitation and unite to assert our party’s position on this matter."

He also demanded a prompt investigation by the PCC. Floor leader Choo said, "Yesterday, Oh Dong-woon was officially appointed as the head of the PCC," adding, "I once again emphasize the need for a swift and strict investigation into the Corporal Chae case and for results to be delivered as soon as possible." He continued, "The fastest way to resolve various suspicions is for the PCC to produce investigation results," and urged, "I call on Director Oh to lead the PCC well and promptly report the investigation results to the public."

In the People Power Party, following lawmakers Kim Woong and Ahn Cheol-soo, lawmaker Yoo Ui-dong publicly expressed his intention to support the special prosecutor act in the reconsideration vote held the day before.

Including myself, we plan to have conversations with the lawmakers to confirm their true intentions and discuss the matter."

Meanwhile, Democratic Party lawmaker Park Ju-min sent a letter to all People Power Party lawmakers on the same day, appealing for their support of the 'Corporal Chae Special Prosecutor Act.' Lawmaker Park stated, "The reconsideration vote will be conducted anonymously," and earnestly requested, "Please vote according to your conscience for the people, and I sincerely ask you to have the courage to do so."
