South Korea's National Assembly kicks off an extraordinary parliamentary session today.
Rival parties agreed over the weekend to convene a session until the end of the month in order to settle a number of pending issues.
They include reviewing bills related to raising transparency at private kindergartens,... forming a special committee to hold a parliamentary probe into hiring irregularities in the public sector,... as well as revising bills to expand the adoption of a flexible working system.
Also at stake is deciding how to reform the parliamentary election system -- in a way that proportional seats better represent voters' choices.
However, with just two weeks left it's unlikely to be smooth sailing... given that the rival parties are deeply divided on most issues.
