◇Anchor> Meanwhile, Coupang founder Chairman Kim Bum-seok's move is also drawing attention. President-elect Donald Trump's eldest son, Trump Jr. is said to have attended a private reception in Washington, D.C. What was the story?

◆Chae Sang-mi> In the case of Chairman Kim Bum-soo, it is a logistics-oriented company along with Marco Rubio, a nominee for secretary of state, and Howard Rutnick, a nominee for the Department of Commerce. How to expand logistics infrastructure, within the United States. And how to bring logistics infrastructure to Asia and how to change the investment environment, it will be centered on the United States. It's known that we had this discussion. As you know, Coupang opened an office in Washington DC. And we are continuing direct cooperation with the State Department, which supports the expansion of public diplomacy. In November last year, Trump selected Alex Wong, who worked as an executive at Coupang Corporation in Washington, DC, as an aide to the White House National Security Department. I think there will be direct cooperation in this area, and if you attend the reception this time, how will you expand logistics in the United States, infrastructure? Then, I think it will be an opportunity to develop an active business model in the e-commerce sector and then introduce an investment model in the Asian market to the United States.

◇Anchor> Coupang is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States, so I think you will be very excited about this.
