Description :
South Korea's National Assembly kicks off an extraordinary parliamentary session today.
Rival parties have agreed last week to convene the session in order to settle a number of issues.
For more on the session's agenda,... we connect to our political correspondent Kim Min-ji on the phone.
Min-ji, fill us in.
Ji-yoon... the session gets going today.... but given that there's only two weeks left before the year's end,.... rival lawmakers don't have much time,... especially with the stack of agenda items they have to go through.
Probably the biggest issue at stake,... is deciding how to reform the parliamentary election system -- in a way that parliamentary seats better reflect voters' party preferences.
Under the current system,... a voter is required to select someone to represent their district,... while another ballot is cast for the party of their preference.
The ruling and main opposition part
