AB - This paper is written to find answers of the research question that the 'Meeting First, Key-issue Agreement Later" approach of the US and South Korea in the North Korean denuclearization negotiation may have caused the current standstill of the negotiation.
As a result, this paper found that South Korea and the US approached the denuclearization negotiation with 'Meeting First, Key-issue Agreement Later" approach. Thus, they failed to achieve any decisive result by holding summit meetings without resolving the key issue, which was the denuclearization of North Korea. They lost the negotiation momentum by being too slow in speed and failed to demonstrate military options as the Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement (BATNA) during the negotiation.
South Korea and the US should increase aspects of rational model in their negotiation with North Korea by reflecting on their past mistakes and make sure that the term "denuclearization" means the dismantlement of North Korean nuclear weapons. They have to focus their efforts on the key issues, the denuclearization of North Korean nuclear weapons, in their future negotiation with North Korea.
