President Moon Jae-in also delivered a congratulatory message to Biden-elect.
It wasn't an official statement, but I used Twitter. "Our alliance is strong and solidarity is very strong," he wrote, which is the same phrase as the symbol of the ROK-US alliance, "Let's go together!"
In Biden's era, which is likely to be very different from President Trump, let's look at how the policies on the Korean Peninsula will change through Biden's past statements.

Biden has been expressing his special heart by calling Korea'blood alliance'.
[Biden/Vice President of the United States at the time (Visit to Korea in December 2013): The United States and Korea have grown together as they did with the blood alliance.] The
principle of emphasis on alliance was emphasized not only during their visit to Korea seven years ago, but also during this campaign.
[Biden/U.S. presidential candidate at the time (last August): I will be a president with our allies and friends.]
Therefore, major issues in the ROK-US alliance, such as negotiating defense costs, which were stalemate in the Trump administration, are expected to be restored to a stable track. .
Trump, who showed the possibility of reducing US forces in Korea by raising the defense cost share, which was around 1 trillion won last year, at first five times and later by at least 50%, while the Biden administration is expected to try to reach a settlement without harming the alliance. .
[Bakwongon / Handong International Area professor: 'I will not extort Korea' is expressed also clearly emerged, while respecting the Union, while consultations with allies, Probably the biggest difference (and Trump administration) that in sangsikseon]
So the ROK-US alliance The issue is expected to increase flexibility, but the relationship between the United States and the United States is expected to be a traditional and strict approach.
President-elect Biden, who has repeatedly expressed his firm awareness of the North Korean nuclear program, is drawing a clear line in the Trump-style negotiations.
[Biden/Vice President of the United States at the time (Visit to Korea in December 2013): North Korea can never achieve security and prosperity as long as it pursues nuclear weapons.] It is not a
Trump-style discussion or settlement between leaders, but a working-level negotiation and a summit meeting. It is likely to return to the so-called bottom-up method of finalizing.
[Cho Seong-ryul/National Security Strategy Research Institute Advisory Fellow: I'm talking about a step-by-step approach.
Therefore, there is a possibility that the same freeze as the Iranian nuclear agreement, and the partial release of the agreement, will be applied.] A
time of change in which our government's strategy needs to be refined in line with the changes of the United States. I left for the US today (8th) to meet the diplomatic and security line.
