National Assembly Speaker Choe Jeong-sik explained the controversy surrounding the constitutional amendment for consecutive presidential terms, emphasizing that extending the term of an elected president is not applicable under the constitution. He reiterated his stance that constitutional amendments require consensus among political actors and national elections. Expressing regret at a press conference that the issue of "consecutive presidential terms" had been framed as a matter of national choice, leading to misunderstandings, Speaker Choe promised to focus on pursuing constitutional amendment topics that are possible through bipartisan agreement and enjoy public support.
