● Abolition vs. Retention

Seong Han-yong / Senior Reporter at The Hankyoreh
"Abolishing supplementary investigation rights would create a 'loophole' for crimes that infringe upon public livelihood."
"Democratic Party lawmakers seem to be wary of their party members... Deliberative democracy is needed."
"It is not the prosecution, but Jung Chung-rae who is playing the media... Issues of public livelihood should not be used as tools for political engineering."

Heo Min / Editorial Writer at Munhwa Ilbo
"Hong Ki-won said it was truly difficult to recruit 10 co-sponsors."
"Within the Democratic Party, those who argue for maintaining supplementary investigation rights are criticized as turncoats."
"Allowing supplementary investigation rights touches the core support base... Jung Chung-rae intends to rally his supporters."
