Cabinet requests reconsideration of special probe bills

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo (3rd from R) speaks during an extraordinary Cabinet meeting at the government complex in Seoul on Jan. 5, 2024. The Cabinet approved a motion requesting parliamentary reconsideration of two opposition-led bills to launch special counsel probes into alleged stock manipulation by Kim Keon Hee, wife of President Yoon Suk Yeol, and allegations that six prominent people of the so-called 5 billion club were promised 5 billion won (US$3.8 million) each from an asset management firm involved in a corruption-ridden development project in the Daejang-dong district in Seongnam, south of Seoul.
