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 on Monday (April 2). Even leader Kim acknowledged that there had been “so much interest in whether I’d come to see Red Velvet or not”. 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.
