执政党共同民主党第二次尝试通过修宪法案失败。周五，国民力量党再次在国民议会中阻挠议事进程，导致会议陷入停滞。
国民议会议长禹元植召开了全体会议，但在国民力量党威胁要进行冗长辩论后，他拒绝进行投票。他表示，自己已尽力防止39年来的首次修宪投票以失败告终。
拟议的修宪内容包括：任何戒严令的发布都需立即获得议会批准，若议员在48小时内否决，戒严令将自动失效。该法案还寻求在宪法序言中加入关于1980年光州民主化运动和1979年釜马民主抗争的表述。
总统发言人康裕贞代表青瓦台表示遗憾，称公众难以理解为何要反对旨在保护国家安全和民主的措施，这些措施是针对前总统尹锡悦2024年12月戒严企图而提出的。总统李在明表示，任何修订都可以分阶段进行。
该法案得到了共同民主党及其他小党共187名议员的支持。在进行全国公投之前，该法案必须获得三分之二多数票的支持。
