# South Korean National Assembly regular session > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/south-korean-national-assembly-regular-session > Updated: 2026-09-09T01:58:28.000Z. Sources: 20. Developments: 3. The South Korean National Assembly has commenced its 100-day regular session, focusing on the 2027 budget and various livelihood-related legislative agendas. Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok has proposed a series of reforms, including constitutional amendments to include the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement and the Buma Democratic Protests in the preamble, alongside political and police reforms. His economic agenda includes the ‘Three Mega Projects’ to expand the semiconductor industry via a ‘Mega Special Zone Act’ and the creation of a ‘Future Response Fund’ using AI semiconductor tax revenues. The People Power Party has rejected these proposals. Floor Leader Jeong Jeom-sik accused the Democratic Party of using constitutional reform to protect the President from legal consequences, instead advocating for the abolition of early voting, the restoration of prosecutorial investigation rights, and private redevelopment deregulation. As the session progresses, the Assembly has entered four days of interpellation sessions characterized by intense partisan friction. Debates are now targeting President Lee Jae-myung’s recent cabinet reshuffle, specifically nominees for the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Gender Equality. Legislative focus has shifted toward significant prosecution reforms aimed at restructuring the prosecution office into two separate agencies for investigations and indictments by October. Lawmakers also continue to clash over constitutional amendments, including a proposal for a four-year, two-term presidential system. The Bank of Korea has noted that such prolonged political contention may lead to increased operational uncertainty and shortened corporate investment horizons. ## Claims - Kim Min-seok proposed constitutional amendments including the inclusion of the May 18 and Buma movements in the preamble.
