On Thursday, the National Assembly voted to approve the opposition-led bill calling for a special prosecution probe into the death of a marine during last year's flood rescue operations and alleged government interference with a preliminary investigation into the case.
It passed with 189 votes for and one against amid the ruling People Power Party walkout and protest.

The voting followed a day-long filibuster launched Wednesday and an ensuing clash over its end declared by Speaker Woo Won-shik.
During the filibuster, the PPP asserted the bill was politically motivated and targeted President Yoon Suk Yeol.
The opposition bloc, led by the main opposition Democratic Party, reiterated the need for a special investigation, bringing up allegations that the government and military officials interfered with the initial internal investigation.

But the bill was actually first introduced during the 21st National Assembly also by opposition lawmakers who passed it unilaterally in early May.
President Yoon Suk Yeol later vetoed the bill and it failed to pass a revote by the Assembly.
The DP then reintroduced the bill as its first legislative goal when the 22nd National Assembly began its term at the end of May.

Following Thursday's vote, PPP Leader Choo Kyung-ho said the party will not be attending the opening ceremony of the 22nd National Assembly originally scheduled for Friday.
Choo also requested that President Yoon Suk Yeol, too, does not attend.

Meanwhile, a high-ranking official at the Presidential Office called Thursday's legislative move "a violation of the constitution" and "a shame to the constitutional history."
