Moon has landed and there is a huge welcome section with greeters wearing KIS-KJI loyalty badges and waving DPRK & Korean Peninsula flags. But the big question is whether KJU will be there to greet Moon and the SK contingent just like KJI did back in 2000
It is surprising that one plane took the entire contingent. That is putting a lot of eggs in one basket. SK's Jaebol families don't travel like this. Especially with labor activists on board. That must been cringe-worthy for the Jaebol magnates and labor activists.
Kim Yo-jong showed earlier and will prolly show with KJU.
Here's the greeting section. From left to right: titular state head Kim Yong-nam; token #2 Choe Ryong-hae. 2 foreign policy hands: Ri Su-yong and FM Ri Yong-ho. Then 2 soldiers: GPB head Kim Su-gil
KJU and Ri Sol-ju march up to greet the Moons who haven't come out of the plane yet. Already some things are different from 2000. KJI had no female companion with him.

Here's the first handshake and the triple hug that socialist country leaders heap upon one another. KJU gave that same triple hug to China's #3 Li Zhanshu last week. Moon isn't flinching now since he knows what's coming.
