Despite opposition from the business sector, the 'Yellow Envelope Bill' has been passed. Urgent need for supplementary legislation arises post-passing.

On July 30, a significant development took place in Seoul, South Korea, as trade unions and civic groups published a joint statement, calling for a halt to the revision of the "Yellow Cape Law," more commonly known as the "Yellow Envelope Bill."

The joint statement, delivered at the federation's headquarters in Mapo District, western Seoul, was delivered by Lee Dong-geun, the vice chairman of the Korea Enterprises Federation. Lee was joined by other industry associations in voicing their concerns.

The "Yellow Envelope Bill" is currently the subject of a revision, and the joint statement urges for a pause in these proceedings. The article, originally written in Korean, was translated by a bilingual reporter using generative AI tools. The translation was then reviewed and refined by the newsroom before being edited by a native English-speaking editor to ensure clarity and accuracy.

On the same day, in West Seoul, the trade unions and civic groups also published their statement, reinforcing the call for a halt to the revision of the "Yellow Envelope Bill." This action adds another layer of pressure on the government to reconsider the proposed changes to the law.

The "Yellow Envelope Bill," while specific to South Korea, has implications for the country's business landscape and the wider economy. As such, this joint statement is a significant step towards ensuring transparency and fairness in the country's business practices.
