Day 1 is over. Day 2 starts at Baekhwawon, the state guesthouse where SK guests stayed over. KJU and Moon were seen earlier walking the halls with what look like Remingtons in the background. Another round of talks are scheduled to take place anytime now
Who's in charge here? Who else but Kim Yo-jong, who seems to be coordinating everything. People are wondering whether KJU & Moon will be able to hammer out another joint statement. If they do, it'll be called the "9.18 Declaration" or "9.18 Joint Statement"
Kim Yo-jong conferring with SK National Security Adviser Chung EY. Right now, Moon and KJU are behind closed doors and they've been talking for about 30 minutes straight. No one else is said to be inside.
Earlier Moon's Chief of Staff tried to manage expectations and said it may be difficult to reach any agreement re denuking. He said the joint statement may not have any denuking clause, or it could just be oral or none at all. "I'm totally blank about this"news.chosun.com/site/data/html…
It's already over. Moon and KJU are out and people are saying Moon didn't exactly look overjoyed. He looked stony-faced. Hard to read Moon's reaction but it seems there will be a joint statement to sign. The desk is ready.
This is how Moon looked as he came out. He's biting down. Contrasts with how he looked when he went in 70 minutes earlier: he was beaming. Does this mean the rumored trip to Mt. Paekdu or Wonsan is out of the question?
