Kim Young-jin, the senior deputy floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Kim Seong-won, the senior deputy floor leader of the United Future Party, met at the National Assembly on the 15th to discuss the bills to be processed at the plenary session and announced this to the press.

Kim Young-jin, the senior floor leader, stated, "Regarding the COVID-19 crisis-related bills, both parties agreed on the urgency to work together, and although we previously held an extraordinary session to handle the n-bunbang-related bills, additional bills remain, so we decided to process those bills at this plenary session."

Kim Seong-won, the senior floor leader, also said, "Bills that have passed the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, bills without disputes between the ruling and opposition parties in the committee, urgent livelihood bills, COVID-19 bills, and n-bunbang-related bills will be processed in the 20th National Assembly to ensure a smooth start for the 21st National Assembly."

However, it was reported that there was no discussion on the Personnel Hearing Act and the National Assembly Act on that day.
