The South Korean government has decided to disallow four citizens belonging to a national labor union from visiting the DPRK for an upcoming inter-Korean event, the Ministry of Unification (MOU) said on Thursday.

The Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation (KCRC) is set to hold a two-day inter-Korean event at Mount Kumgang this weekend with its North Korean counterpart, the Consultative Council for National Reconciliation (CCNR).

The late South Korean President Kim Dae-jung’s son Kim Hong-gul, who accompanied Moon Jae-in as a special entourage member during the fifth inter-Korean summit in September, serves as head of the KCRC.
