Abstract
Since the easing trend of the situation of the Korean peninsula in 2018, active and positive changes have occurred in the bilateral relationship between North Korea and South Korean/the US/China as well as between China and South Korea. In this scenario, the bilateral relationship between North Korea and South Korea or the US has been considered to be the main avenue to resolve the North Korean nuclear issues. However, in essence, the formation and development of the North Korean nuclear issues are the consequences of the multilateral factors, which also embody the limitations of the bilateral relations of North Korea and the US/South Korea. The future complete resolution of the North Korea nuclear issues should be dependent on the framework of multilateralism driven by the bilateral relations.

Summary
Since the breakout of the North Korean nuclear crisis, the situation of the Korean peninsula has been tangled by the complex bilateral and multilateral relationship of the related nations. The tension of the North Korea-US relationship has been eased to some extent following the presidential meeting between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump in the year of 2018. This proposes such a possibility that the resolution of the North Korean nuclear issues is seemingly dependent sorely on the bilateral relations between North Korea and the US, of which the viewpoint has been preached by the overseas press. After the bilateral talk in Sweden in October, 2019, the US and North Korea gave up to the expectation to each other, leading to another diplomatic confrontation between the two nations at the end of the year 2019
