Hopes are high that North Korea and the United States will soon hold their second summit.
And there's lots of speculation about where it might happen.
Many reports are pointing to Vietnam.
Our Park Hee-jun has the details. Choices for the second North Korea-U.S. summit appear to be narrowing down to a select few locations.
The Japanese paper Yomiuri Shimbun reported Sunday... that U.S. President Donald Trump suggested to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un... that they meet in mid-February in Vietnam.
The report says that although various venues, such as Indonesia and Mongolia are also being considered,... Vietnam is the most likely
But North Korea is yet to respond.
The Straits Times also reported that Vietnam is the favorite.
Sources in Washington told the Singapore-based news outlet that the shortlist may be down to Vietnam and Thailand,... and that both of them have offered venues.
But the report adds that the Thai government plans to hold a general election by March, which could interfere.
And according to CNN last week,... the White House has already surveyed locations in Hanoi, Bangkok and Hawaii.

The inter-Korean truce village of Panmujeom could be another option.
Citing diplomatic sources... South Korean news agency YTN reported... that officials from the U.S. State Department went to Panmunjeom sometime at the beginning of this year.
It also said North Korea has been demanding the meeting be held there for safety and logistical reasons.

Nothing has been announced as of yet.
But at the start of the year,... Kim and Trump both expressed strong hopes for a second round of talks.
Washington also announced on Saturday, that it will ease restrictions on humanitarian assistance to Pyeongyang,... which is being viewed as a conciliatory gesture ahead of the summit.
And so observers speculate that the details may be sorted out in the not too distant future.
