This is U.S. special representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun's first trip to Seoul in his new State Department role.
He's meeting officials here to discuss the process to get North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has said he's committed to giving them up.
Little progress appears to have been made on that commitment. But there's hope in Seoul that next week's third summit between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Kim could jump start talks.
On Monday, the White House said it received a "warm" letter from Kim requesting a second summit with President Donald Trump. His office said it's now coordinating that meeting.
