Seoul’s unification ministry has proposed establishing a system that would allow South Koreans separated from family members in North Korea to confirm whether their relatives are still alive.
In a new plan for addressing separated family issues released Tuesday, the ministry states that the system would be able to notify family members in the South when their loved ones in the DPRK die.
