South Korea's National Assembly will hold a plenary session this afternoon to vote on 16 non-contested bills.
It's technically the first full parliament session of 2019 that will be used to vote on bills.
Among the bills,... is a proposal that seeks to promote so-called "blind recruitment" -- to ensure a fair hiring process.
It calls for fines on workplaces that ask an applicant to provide personal details on their resume,... such as their weight, height, or family members' wealth, job or academic background.
Another bill, if passed,... would allow exclusive one-to-one probation for offenders that committed sex offenses against minors.
The National Assembly has one more plenary session scheduled before the March parliamentary session comes to a close.
