The Democratic Party is taking a cautious approach to reviving a special-prosecutor bill on alleged manipulated prosecutions even after President Lee Jae-myung asked the National Assembly to move quickly.

Discussion could resume after the National Assembly audit period, with November mentioned as a possible window.
