Hi Jaesuk,

Both of those options sound like great opportunities to do a Ceph Day
Seoul.  I think the main question is whether July is too soon for a Seoul
event.  It looks like COVID-19 may be peaking but it's a bit early to
tell.  Assuming things improve over the next few weeks I'd be all for
moving forward with one or the other option.  Do you have a preference
which one?
