Let's start with the South Korean delegation,... which spent most of yesterday in Pyongyang...<br />They are now back in Seoul after meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for discussions on the upcoming inter-Korean summit and denuclearization of the peninsula.<br />Let's speak to our presidential correspondent Shin Se-min who's standing by at Cheong Wa Dae.<br />Se-min, no official announcement on how the trip went yet,... but we do have some details...<br /> <br /> Morning, the five-member, high-level South Korean delegation returned home late Wednesday evening,... after spending close to twelve hours in Pyongyang. <br /> As you mentioned, South Korea's presidential office confirmed the delegation met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Wednesday and President Moon Jae-in's special envoy Chung Eui-yong, who led the delegation, hand-delivered a letter to Kim from the president.<br />We don't know the contents of that letter.<br />Mark,... despite the delegation being back in Seoul,... little is known about their trip so far.<br /> We don't yet know what the delegation discussed with Kim or whether they have finalized a date and agenda for this month's scheduled inter-Korean summit.<br />But-- as we can see from these photos -- there were plenty of smiles on the South and North Korean sides, even from Kim Jong-un himself -- leading many to speculate the visit went well. <br /> The hope is the two sides agreed on all the summit-related matters and perhaps even made a breakthrough on denuclearization.<br />That status update, the presidential spokesman said, will take place today, and will be given by the president's special envoy, Chung Eui-yong.<br />Many are expecting it to take place this morning... so within the next few hours.<br />We'll keep close tabs on it and bring you the latest once we have it.<br /><br /> Thanks for your report, Se-min. <br />We will bring you live coverage of the envoy's statement here on Arirang News. Hopefully, the trip went as well as those photos make it seem. <br />
