Welcome back, Professor Kim.

1. The Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung argues we should take enough time, and the People Power Party's Kim Moon-soo believes a South Korea-U.S. summit is necessary right after the election.

2. Then how might a South Korea-U.S. summit right after the election work better?

3. Some experts expect the talks this time will see little progress and be another round of Team Korea exploring the U.S.'s demands.

4. Are you saying finding out Washington's wants and needs will be Seoul's number one task?

5. Do you think South Korea and the U.S. will make sure not to pass the July 8th deadline?

Thanks so much for joining us this morning.
