SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un smiled, clapped and said he was ‘deeply moved’ by a rare performance by South Korean K-pop stars in Pyongyang, state media reported Monday. REUTERSThe 120-member South Korean group – 11 musical acts as well as dancers, technicians and martial artists – gave one concert on Sunday with another set for Tuesday. The ongoing rapprochement was triggered by the South’s Winter Olympics, to which the North’s leader Kim Jong Un sent athletes, cheerleaders and his sister as an envoy. Kim followed up by agreeing to a summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, and offering a face-to-face meet with US President Donald Trump. No date has been set for the US-North Korean summit although it is expected before the end of May.--AFP
