Korean reunion

SEOUL: The members of families split and then permanently separated by the 1950-53 Korean War carry many sad memories and stories, but few that are as unique and dramatic as Park Yun-Dong’s.
One of the lucky South Koreans selected to take part in a rare family reunion to be held in North Korea next week, the 90-year-old is bracing for an emotional meeting with the family of his younger brother, who died four years ago.
“There won’t be another time. I’m old and I know we won’t be meeting each other again,” Park told AFP in his small, neat apartment in Ansan, about 40 kilometres south of Seoul.
