The youngest son of former President Kim Dae Jung is one of just a few South Koreans to have met Kim Jong Un. He hopes a second meeting isn’t far away.
Six years ago, Kim Hong-gul chatted with the current North Korean leader as part of a visiting delegation attending the funeral of late dictator Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang. He’s now looking for another encounter after he becomes head of the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation, a non-profit group that promotes exchanges between two Koreas.
