◇Anchor> Amazon says it will end its same-day delivery service in December now. What's the reason?

◆Lee Jung-hwan> The U.S. economy is not very bad right now, but that doesn't mean it's a very good situation. If so, I think I can tell you that consumption is shrinking slightly compared to before, and what it is like to say is that Amazon's same-day delivery service is less beneficial and more expensive. Recently, Amazon has reportedly cut more than 20,000 jobs, and Amazon has a huge cloud service for distribution. However, there were distribution services in the past, but they are talking about continuing to organize the high-cost and unprofitable parts of distribution services, and in this process, daily delivery and so on. In fact, daily delivery is natural in our country, but when Amazon introduced a system called Prime in the past, the first thing we did was two-day delivery. We'll deliver it within two days. It was like this, but going to the same-day delivery is too expensive in terms of cost or weak in attracting consumers, so you can understand that we are abolishing them and going to cost-saving mode.

◇Anchor> Contrary to concerns, the U.S. land is too large.
