이산가족 오후부터 2차 상봉 시작<br /><br /> This week saw the first round of inter-Korean family reunions in three years. And today a second round has begun, bringing together a different set of families.<br />The South Koreans arrived at Mount Kumgang, in the North, this afternoon... where their relatives were waiting.<br />Let's turn to our Park Hee-jun, who's been covering the story for us.<br />Hee-jun, what's the latest?<br /><br /> Devin.<br />The separated families have been reunited,... and they are spending time together at the reunion center as we speak.<br /><br /> The 81 selected North Koreans and their South Korean relatives, numbering 326 people, are attending the group session.<br />We're still waiting to hear from the press pool on the details of the meeting,... but it's sure to be incredibly emotional.<br />Remember, this is the first time they're seeing each other since they were torn apart by the Korean War nearly 70 years ago.<br />Two hours is going to be too brief, so they'll be making every minute count,... while waiting for the next opportunity to catch up on each other's lives tomorrow.<br />And after the first round of the reunion,... the first day will end with a welcoming dinner, hosted by South Korea.<br />In total, for day one, they'll have had four hours to spend together.<br /><br /> Did everyone get there safely? The typhoon was right on the east coast this morning, maybe a little too close for comfort.<br /><br /> You're right.<br />It was a very wet and windy journey for the South Korean participants as they headed to Mount Kumgang this morning.<br /><br /> There was heavy rain in the areas their buses had to pass through.<br />And that meant they arrived at the venue a little bit later than scheduled,... at around 2PM.<br />Many were worried that Typhoon Soulik would mean delays or rescheduling.<br />Seoul's Unification Ministry and South Korean President Moon Jae-in also said yesterday that rearranging the schedule for the reunion could be an option if the typhoon became too powerful.<br /> But so far, though, it seems like there's no change in plans.<br />The typhoon has already moved into the East Sea.<br /> Hopefully, the weather will clear up very soon so that the families can make the most of their limited time together.<br />Devin. <br />
