The leader of South Korea's main opposition People Power Party, Rep. Jang Dong-hyeok, issued a formal apology on January 7, 2026, for former President Yoon Suk Yeol's 2024 martial law declaration, seen as an effort to distance the party from his legacy.
South Korea's National Assembly passed a prosecution reform bill led by the ruling Democratic Party, establishing the legal basis for a new serious crime investigation agency to launch in October. The approval followed the end of a 24-hour filibuster by the main opposition People Power Party, whose lawmakers boycotted the vote.
