According to his book, THAAD has a limited capability to protect South Korea from the DPRK's missiles. The DPRK has also enough technology to fire missiles that can avoid the intercepting range of the U.S. anti-missile system.

Ironically, South Korea can become the biggest victim with its THAAD deployment, with which the country initially aimed to deter the DPRK's nuclear and missile threats. Ties between South Korea and China have been strained, as the missile defense networking between South Korea, the United States and Japan could usher in an era of New Cold War in Northeast Asia.

In the end, they would push South Korea further away from improved relations with the DPRK and eventually from peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and the goal of a denuclearized peninsula.

An early presidential election is forecast to be held in May. A candidate from the opposition bloc is likely to win the presidency.

Cheong recommended the next president to resume dialogue with the DPRK while suspending the procedures of the THAAD deployment as intensified negotiations on the DPRK's nuclear program can silence calls for THAAD.
