Han called the criminal-procedure amendment a 'bad law' and argued President Lee Jae-myung should veto it, stressing it could lead to investigative gaps and harm to the public.

He also issued a warning to the effect that a 'bad law could cause the administration to collapse on its own,' aimed at the ruling side—remarks seen as raising political tension.

The ruling bloc countered that the amendment aligns with the principle of separating investigation from indictment. The exchange is hardening into a standoff over whether a veto will be used.

If a veto is exercised, the bill returns to the Assembly for a re-vote, which requires a heightened quorum—so passage would hinge on the parties' seat distribution.
