Before those South Korean participants left for Mount Kumgang to finally meet their relatives, our Park Hee-jun met up with some of them to find out how they are feeling on this momentous occasion.<br /> The wait is finally over.<br /> It's only a brief moment after almost a lifetime of separation,... but for the South and North Korean families who thought they'd never be able to see each other again,... the reunion is a dream come true.<br /><br /> "The day before the reunion,... we asked the South Koreans who will meet their families living North of the border one question. How do you feel?"<br /><br /> "I can't describe the feeling. My mother couldn't sleep for days."<br /><br /> "It's such a huge blessing for our four siblings. I tear up knowing I can meet my brother. I'd assumed he'd passed away."<br /><br />When Oh Byung-im got married at the age of 17, her entire family went to the North looking for work. <br />Seventy-four years later, she will meet her younger brother Oh Byung-sam .<br />Of course, she has a lot of questions.<br /><br /> "I will tell him how much I've missed him and how happy I am to see him alive. Then I want to ask him how our parents passed away. You know, how he has lived."<br /><br />Mok Won-sun and Mok Won-gu are brothers set to meet their oldest brother in the North.<br />But they're not sure whether the North Korean participant is really their brother,... because his family name is Kim.<br /><br /> "I'll ask him the names of our parents to see if he's really our big brother. If he gets it right, then it proves he's indeed our brother.” <br /><br /> "If he is our brother, I wouldn't expect anything but tears. We don't even have to talk to each other to feel how hard his life must have been. I can't imagine what he had to go through."<br /><br /> With mixed emotions,... the South Koreans will be brought together with their relatives in the North.<br />The three-day reunion will be buzzing with questions that were left unanswered for close to seven decades.<br />Park Hee-jun, Arirang News, Sokcho. <br />
