As part of the implementation of the Panmunjom Declaration signed by Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong Un in April, the two Koreas decided to hold two rounds of reunions of families separated by the Korean War.

The first group consisted of 89 individuals from the South, who were reunited with their families in the North at a hotel in Mt. Kumgang for three days from August 20-22.

They spent 12 hours in total together during the three-day visit, and yesterday family members from both sides bid tearful goodbyes to each other, hoping to see their much missed loved ones
