Without the government's approval, the South Korean National Assembly passed the budget reduction bill for next year. On the 10th, the South Korean National Assembly held a plenary meeting and adopted a cut version of the 2025 budget with a total amount of 673.3 trillion won (about 3.41 trillion yuan). According to Yonhap News Agency, this is the first time that the South Korean National Assembly passed the budget without agreement between the ruling party and the opposition party. In the 300-seat parliament, 278 members voted on the budget, 183 were in favor, 94 were against and 1 abstained. The ruling National Power Party and some opposition party members voted against it.
