SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's Kim Jong Un joked about his image in international media while serving South Korean officials local spirits and cold noodles during their unprecedented visit to Pyongyang this week, two South Korean government sources said. Kim made light-hearted remarks about how he is viewed outside North Korea in international media and elsewhere, one Blue House official said. "This is when we knew the efforts of North and South Korea taken after the Moon Jae-in administration began had paid off," said one participant of the North Korea visit. Kim's administration had also taken note of what North Korean foods the South Korean officials had mentioned while his sister Kim Yo Jong was visiting Seoul for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. The delegation was served North Korean hotpot the first day and cold noodles - another regional specialty - the next, the Blue House official said.
