The Democratic Party of Korea has initiated efforts to coordinate a legislative response to real estate and housing supply issues. Party leadership, including Acting Leader Han Byeong-do, emphasized the need for rapid execution of supply measures and the integration of tax and financial policies to stabilize the housing market.

To facilitate these goals, the party is focusing on expediting pending legislation, such as the Urban Renewal Act and the Special Act on Public Housing. Han Byeong-do announced a plenary session for August 20 to address urgent matters, including a proposed amendment to the National Assembly Act intended to shorten the fast-track legislative process from 330 days to 90 days.
