Overseas Network July 31 (OOCN) - The new U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper will visit Korea for the first time in early August. This is also the second visit of the U.S. Defense Secretary to Korea after 2018, one year and one month apart. However, Korean media are generally worried that South Korea will be forced to substantially increase defense costs. "Seoul Economy" points out that if South Korea refuses to accept the "sky-high" payment notice, defense fees will become a "detonator" in the Korean-US relations.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Esper will visit Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Mongolia from the beginning of August. On August 9, Esper planned to hold talks with South Korean Defense Minister Zheng Jingdou in Seoul.
South Korea's Defense Ministry said that South Korea and the United States will share information on the security situation on the Korean Peninsula, and exchange views on the main issues of the Korean-American alliance, such as denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, establishment of a permanent peace mechanism on the Peninsula, and transfer of wartime command based on conditions.

Among them, the allocation of defense expenses has become the focus of Korean media. When Yonhap News Agency, NEWS 1, Asian Economy and other Korean media reported the news of the visit of the US Defense Minister to Korea, they all wrote out the key point in the title - "Defense Cost Sharing".
