Multiple rounds of talks have failed to reach a new cost-sharing agreement.
Seoul now pays about half the cost to keep U.S. troops here, roughly 830-million dollars.
The U.S. reportedly wants South Korea to pay more, which has forced negotiators into a deadlock.
According to Stars and Stripes, most of Seoul's contribution pays salaries for locals who help maintain the U.S. troop presence.
The daily also reports South Koreans working on U.S. bases will be furloughed if the two sides can't reach a deal.
