The meetings would take place on September 19, during the Chuseok harvest festival, the North Korean news agency KCNA reported Sunday.

      Nice post. However, for me, personally, this just shows that the "supreme chubby one" found out that when he huffed & puffed, that he could not blow the house down! YES, it will be nice for those NK & SK people who want to see loved ones, etc., but really just another political move by NK.

    Now if it will also include the Koreans being detained in the NK concentration camps then it will truly be a day for celibration. I just dont think that part will happen because this man is truly evil to his very core.
