It was found that more than 25,000 people agreed to a national petition opposing the ban on dawn delivery (12 a.m.–5 a.m.).
According to the retail industry on the 27th, as of noon that day, the number of people who agreed to the petition opposing the dawn delivery ban posted on the National Assembly e-petition site on the 13th exceeded 25,000.
The petitioner wrote, "I am an ordinary working mother raising two children, one in middle school and one in elementary school," and added, "Being able to buy supplies or daily necessities late at night is thanks to dawn delivery, which is already a service closely tied to people's lives. The National Assembly and the government should not listen only to the claims of a specific group (Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU)) but find realistic alternatives."
Originally having received the agreement of 18,000 people, the post reportedly saw its approval rate rise after Han Dong-hoon of the People Power Party shared the petition link on his social networking service (SNS) on the 25th. If the petition receives 50,000 agreements by Feb. 13, it will be referred to a National Assembly standing committee and, depending on the review results, could be placed on the plenary agenda or lead to legislation or policy recommendations.
Meanwhile, issues related to dawn delivery are scheduled to be discussed on the 28th by the Democratic Party's Euljiro Committee, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, delivery companies such as Coupang, Kurly, and CJ Logistics, and labor groups including the Democratic and Korean Confederation of Trade Unions.
