Simone Chun, a fellow at the Korea Policy Institute and a member of the Korean Peace Network, told Radio Sputnik’s Loud & Clear Monday that the reunion of 89 family members at Mount Kumgang in North Korea shows a human face of the Korean War.

"This [the separation of families] is the most tragic part of the Korean War, [which] as you know, has not ended and is temporarily halted," Chun told hosts John Kiriakou and Brian Becker.

"The Korean War has been going on for 68 years. As you recall, about 10 million Korean families were at the time separated. At the time, they thought the separation was temporary, but then, it became permanent. This [the reunion] is the most important development of the inter-Korean summit [with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in in recent months]… it will show the human face of the Korean War and help us to emphasize the humanitarian aspect," Chun added.
