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).
