Soooooooooo happy for all Koreans. Amazing!!! World is a better place today!!
Nick Tumia Thanks!♡♡♡
Nick Tumia this will piss usa off they dont want peace
joe mctaggart usa the one who press kim jong un to arrange the summit....
edit: nk will have trouble with russia tho....
The PRC does not want unification. That means potential U.S. troops on their doorstep.
NO MORE NUKES IN NORTH KOREA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who cried when those south korean claps? 😢
BOMBA. Nope!
You’re not alone
It is so moving, I am German and my parents told me a lot about german reunification. Now I am really happy to see a big step in Korea. The dream of reunification is now reborn.
I cried.
gives me goosebumps
My dead uncle who served in korean war,he was a 2Lt in the philippine army... he once said korean war was just a product of international politics of cold war... restore the glory of one korea!
what is 2Lt?
That's dumb. You dead uncle doesn't think much of Koreans. The Korean war started because the Koreans in the North decided to invade the South WITHOUT any reason OR provocation. It was just their OWN decision. And they were/are Koreans
Lisa Bertolucci
That's dumb. There was a reason to invade. It was unification and to drive out democracy from Korean peninsula. And before the war, the Soviet union and China agreed to invade and participate in the war and sent their army. Because they communism countries didn't want a democracy country be located too close to them. They were afraid of USA which is in the South Korea. Moreover, the reason Korea was divided into two is the product of international cold war from the start.

Incredibly emotional day for Koreans and a sigh of relief from the rest of us. Was worried about this starting a global conflict so this is an amazing outcome for humanity.
Anthony Frade. Well said
Benarkin-Rebel Truth The butt hurt is strong with this one. Fantasizing abouy the president of the USA starting WW3. And being dumb enough to think any other country would last a day against the USA in a full blown war. No other country even has the means to move an army around like the USA.
Korean people for the most part, are happy. I am truly happy for them too. True Historic moment, salute to them both.
The only thing that will stop the happiness is west interfering and putting some abrupt demands from both sides that will stop the unification.
Peace and prosperity for Korea❤️👍
I just hope NK isnt doing this to put South Koreas guard down. We need real peace
that's what i'm worried about..
I hope he steamrolls the South and unites Korea under a Socialist regime.
Here's crossing our fingers for WW3 in Asia.
What would he have to gain from that? I think he realized that he doesn't have to be isolated and still hold a lot of power and wealthy - especially the current president of China setting that example by essentially making himself sole ruler
There would be no incentive to do that, as North Korea is practically as weak as a fly at this point.
My heart is happy. I served for 13 months in 1969-70 and the Korean prople are warm, and very friendly.
I have great memories of them although at times things got dicey with tensions with N. Korea.
I do hope the best for these great people.
Long live Hangug!
Guillermo Garraton thank you for your service
North korea + South korea = graet korea
north + south = korea, finally
meckily se Graet?
Yes, Very very *Graet* Korea.
Benarkin-Rebel Truth, you understand that without the United States South Korea would still be an impoverished country of rice farmers, right? Even a United Korea would not have obtained the level of development the south alone has reached today thanks to the United States attention.
god particle Y'know, that might have been a joke.
God Bless United Korea
Only koreans can make peace in the korean peninsula!
president Trump made this happen
+Richard Lopez Yup, it's true. Trump made it happen
Richard Lopez
Trump would take credit for creating the universe if he could. If it wasn't for President Moon Jae-in taking a friendly stance towards unification, Kim Jing Un would not risk negotiating with South Korea or the U.S. Without the fear of assassination, Kim Jong Un is more willing to negotiate.

Then why did South Korea have talks of peace with North Korea even though tensions with the U.S. were high? Why did North Korea threaten to nuke the U.S. when it was against China's interests? Don't underestimate the resolve of a nation, Vietnam fought off both the U.S. and China to earn its freedom.
(www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/04/china-what-can-beijing-do-about-north-korea-donald-trump-kim-jong-un)
(www.historynet.com/sino-vietnamese-war-1979.htm)
Stranger, in both cases it was China's unwillingness to have an American proxy on their border that continued the situation. Make no mistake North Vietnam would have been conquered by America just like North Korea was if China was not their neighbor. Probably would have been as good at administrating it as they where Iraq or Afghanistan, but conquest and administration are two different things.
I wish my grandparents were alive to witness this.
Look at them smiling, makes me want to cry even if I'm not Korean.
Maybe the rest of the countries that are in conflict should follow suit. Wish that could happen
israel and palestine
india and pakistan
Finally, some news that actually makes us all feel a bit better.
As a German I'm glad that our nation could overcome this very problem back in 89'. I was born 11 years after German-Reunification, so I can't imagine what it was
like living in the divided Germany, but all I hear about life in the GDR sounds very very similar to life in NK just "only" 85% as bad, and all I hear is the immense feeling of happiness and gratitude from the people who experienced the reunification and I hope that the Korean people will someday be able to experience what the German people experienced in 89'.
Restore the glory of One Korea, united Korea. Indians will stand like an iron brother to you. Love from India.
The best example of humanity and by leaving the past behind.... I wish happy beginnings and bright future for North and South Koreans from 🇮🇳 India... Great work by both the leaders
Im happy for all korean... beautiful moment... 😍😍😍
Unite the koreas,STOP HURTING YOUR OWN BLOOD!
Unification is a hope Koreans hold dearly in their hearts but not very realistic anytime soon. They have been divided for so long and especially the with North Korea being isolated from the world that it will take North Koreans probably decades or more to assimilate back into the global community even if they were no longer isolated. Many NK defectors to South Korea find it very difficult to assimilate to their new life even with help from the government. The first steps of denuclearization is a step forward but only a step. Kim Jung Un needs to give his people hope for a better future to stay in power. Forced isolation will not be sustainable. Isolated and undereducated people who do not understand the world cannot compete or survive. Trying to lead a population of isolated people who do not understand or know the world is not sustainable. The global world and technology is changing faster than ever, which means isolated North Koreans will be left even farther behind unless changes are made. Denuclearization and humanitarian change needs to be verified before offering rewards to North Korea. Past support only helped to increase NK nuclear capabilities.
Unification would suck for South receiving all that poor tortured north to it's hard worked developed country. Eventually north would grow but it would take time.
make Korea great again!!!!!!!
Yayyy
Kim yong in just became the first leader ever to step into south Korea since 1953 , this gave me happy tears , I never ever in my life thought I'll still be alive when this happens, I'm so happy it happened to a United Korea ,, this is History , a day I'll remember for the rest of my life
Indonesia : mari kita bangun kembali dunia yang lebih baik TANPA ada unsur kepentingan jahat di belakangnya, kami di indonesia sangat menghormati korea utara dan korea selatan, "murni untuk perubahan yang lebih baik dan murni untuk perdamaian"
My grandfather risked his life for the reunification of Korea 70 years ago, now it will actually pay off
Why seek unification that is impossible from now on. Instead open a friendship, open a good trade and culture, reduce military power on both side, leave foreign military presence. Let the family relatives visit side by side.
Moon is the negotiator
President Trump is who made this meeting happen
Moon buttered up both Kim and Trump. What you are watching is the result.
1. Summit between north and south
2. Summit beween South and us
3. Summit beween us and north
What that means?
Moon is the negotiator.
Get the picture mate.
Moon is the ATM
i just wanna say ...........this is a great achievement for both side........Tashi deleke to both leaders and people of both countries.....
Please make the unification happen
Tears rolled out after watching when Kim took Moon to his country side.! God Bless you Korean people. Reunification may not be possible coz it's a broken mirror but they can see each other on that mirror. Congrats.
peace is the key to solving many world problems. we should try this more often.
i'm not even korean but i'm crying right now 😢💕
I want criying now, congratulations both nations...i'm from Malaysia..peace...sarangheo...
The Trump-USA asking to make the deal ? What is it in the deal for the USA ?
The Koreas can and will do the talk themselves.
President Trump made this happen.the deal for the USA is peace and being even closer with Korea that is our friend
In both the country's constitution it's claimed that there is one Korea .
In North Korean constitution it's written that South Korea is their land and vice versa in South Korea .
Then why not unification?
Doesn't seem like a bad idea .
Id say no but still good direction on the condition that kju doesn't backstab
For anyone watching this now who isn’t aware. North Korea bombed the unification center that was built by South Korea. And have begun escalating tensions again.
I hope the new generation will contribute to this
As Chinese we are too moved to say anything! Buddha bless peace on our distant cousin Korean!
Come on Koreans unites ! You always were one Country ! I know there would be realist difficulties with the economy and the cultural and social differences but you have to unite ! Two Korea is an aberration !
Hope America finally realizes what a delusional place we have been in for the last 10-20 years. The only thing you improve by hitting the golf course is your golf game. This was not easy to do and took a hell of a lot of work.
There were evil US finger prints all over Korean War which divided Korea in the first place.
Andres de Villanueva please take off your tin foil hat and read up on actual history
It's true that russians are horrible people but not all russians are bad people. Chinese are horrible people but not all chinese are horrible people. You see in Nazi germany not all germans were crazy nazis. So, you can't generalise and say germans did something wrong during ww2. It's just the nazis not the germans.
Russia occupied the North you know.
One Korea with peace, without Nuclear. 🙏🏻
Dont know about unification but let them co exist peacefully as good neighboring countries with great diplomatic relationship with people from both side can easily explore each others coutries.
Would the same have happened if Park Geun-hye was still the South Korean President?
Even If the unification is not achieved, what i really hope is the peace between two nations
Anyone here watch 2D1N and they did write something about if reunification happen they will open the letter they buried at the NKandSK border something like that.
Look closely at KJU’s facial expressions... he looks a bit frightened.
Some of the most spiritual people I'm thee world. Perhaps we should listen to them.
I'm so happy for koreans! This is a great day :)
Here after watching Crash landing on you drama. I am from India and i want North Korea and South Korea to become a Great Korea. I wish i could see the reunion
Люди улыбаются 😊 как это важно для полуострова....
Yes it's possible, but only if both Koreas agree on it. One way to do it is to let the people in both Koreas vote for it. UN tried that just before the Korean war started, but at that time North (backed up by Soviets) declined. I don't think Kim is just yet ready for this, but then again I never imagined live to see him actually crossing the border to South and shaking hands with their President.
thanks to PRESIDENT TRUMP&Q
Yup. Thank goodness for that man
+Rogue Male you’re an idiot. This was trumps leadership and you leftists can’t admit that he is a better president than Obama.
IM FOR Q AND PRESIDENT TRUMP,OBAMA NOTHING BUT A JOKE
C.I.A ran the show,TRUMP AND Q STOPPED IT,
ROGUE male no clue,just babble
A historic day!
I don't think reunification is really that necessary, they're just too different at this point, might as well just become really close partner and support each other when needed.
The good people of the world are happy for Koreas.
Unite now!
Going to play home front right now
It's a start.
I pray that it's will not be repeating the same thing.
But i wanna know what lie they told north korean this time !?
Reunification is not the vocabulary of Kim Jung On in my opinion. His position as Leader is important to him being bowed everywhere he goes. He would probably lay down his power once he got older but it's not a guarantee.
It depends on his KIDS or his WIFE if they don't want the significant LEADERSHIP POSITION anymore. But for now, FRIENDSHIPS OF BOTH SIDES IS THEIR PRIORITY.
No nukes is a good start. Peace is a great second step. One Korea is ? days away. But much closer than a week ago
Get united! North and south korean, you are brothers! You both are korean, you both have the same blood! It s so stupid some of people still dont want reunification. The birth rate is already declining in south, who cant resist more area and more people from the same culture and people. All of the peninsula will be yours korean people!
How #good and how #beautiful for brothers when they dwell as one
Ps133:1
North and South Korea uniting into one democratic nation is possible to achieve. As long as the US stays out it for it to succeed.
Mr. Kim..... first half is finished...... start second half and show to the world.......who you.......hahahahah
A small step for Kim and Moon to cross the Korean border, but a tremendous symbolic step for all to overcome the seemingly insurmountable barrier of different political dogma to reach final reconciliation of war and old hate...
You don't have to unite because he fears losing his power but at least peace and ease of travel and visitation. I'm very optimistic and happy for all koreans now I don't have to go marry a hungry wife from there.

3:21 ken jeong !
here's the joke, if the us gave NK the same exact deal we gave to iran it will could a huge success. and it would be, thats the joke.
Best of luck Korea.
Unified Korea coming soon!
Good for you Korea! Don’t let the criminals in the west interfere with your unification
All Kim Jong Un had to do was act nice for 1 day and now everyone thinks he's a great guy. come on guys... don't be so trusting.
this started since moon was elected and is known for wanting to do the sunshine program again.
its all still very shocking,and historic.
I’m kinda skeptical myself, but I’m just hoping that this will actually lead somewhere good.
Why was Korea divided when Japan was defeated in World War II?
The responsibility of the Korean division is in Japan.
Korea suffered tremendous suffering because of the division. Koreans have had to part with their loved ones and have waged war on each other. Through this meeting, we hope that peace will be settled and unified.
WTF? Japan had nothing to do with that. The USA and the USSR were responsible for that are you insane? US military bases are in Japan AND S.Korea for a reason.
Incredible... Koreans find any reason to blame Japan for their problems.
Also, Korea was ANNEXED by Japan upon agreement with Korea's leaders. It was never a colony. Use the correct terminology.
One of the characteristics of the Japanese is that it does not refute the points and attracts new themes.I do not think you represent the average Japanese intellect and conscience.None of the so-called 'right wingers' in any country is wise and intelligent.
I do not want to talk to anyone with prejudice and racial ideas anymore. It is your freedom to continue to respond to my writing. But I will not read it anymore.
Look up the history of the tiny peninsula in these 2000 years! How long was Korea united? Except it belonged to Great Imperial Japan, only very short period of time it remained the unification. You better think that the split situation is quite normal for Koreans. Practically speaking, none of the Koreans want to pay for the North Korean refugees. That's it! Forget about it! All they could do along the unification is begging money to Japan.
FYI, President Trump sent Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to meet with Kim Jung weeks ago and this is the result of those meetings. Like the old saying "if you can't fight em' join them"
'I think President Trump deserves big credit for bringing about the inter-Korean talks" South Korean President Moon Jae-In
Is unification impossible?
within a few years
that korean girl is cute af, even with the things on the face
North Korea + South Korea = 2 Best Korea's Coming Together. Love live President Moon And President Kim Jong un. Greetings from Australia.
north korea+ south korea - AMERICA = great korea
🇰🇵 SWEAR TO PROTECT THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE REVOLUTION 🇰🇵
Comrade Hellas What revolution?
The Korean one
Korea had NO real revolution.The REAL revolution will be seeing North Korea toss their oppressive communist system in the garbage
>Communist
>oppressive
choose one
Us will be mad they don’t like peace
Once Russia chickened out they have no choice but to be friendly. ..
Since when did Russia chicken out? They were hardly involved in this in the first place.
It won't happen if there's China and Russia on N.Korea side
China and Russia are NOT on North Korea's side.It was strong urging from China on behalf of President Trump that helped make this happen
Kim hair cut Amazing like it so much.
김정은 핵무기 버리겠다고 단 한마디라도 했나?
또 묻지마 지원 시작되겠지
북한 인권이 지옥이라도
Now everyone knows what President Trump means by peace through strength
I hope Kim Jong Un lets his people face the reality.
Yes it's possible and natural if America keep out its noise from their business .
As a South Korean, I admire the insights of the American people who have chosen Trump.
Trump is not just a businessman, he is a natural diplomat.
A farce
Have you ever seen a locus fly, the flight pattern it takes. that's kind of what CZECH does to you vision poles eye rods or whatever, creating a kind of zig zag reointation of alignment Identification. with (pivots) a frame that pivots or folds. Its opens up room for "tagging" while misusing tradiational space allowment. (errors). TGB it can be connect to the whole world, I have in places, connections (bigger older than technology) along with electrical exhaust as I call it. For example, I can be walking through a crowded street, know a airplane is 3000 feet above me behind me, know its there turn to look at it, Connection sensitivity, but use maintained best. What that means is that connection is there for everybody, its happening as actualy event. I will tell you I have a hard time catching a jet plane, with my eye sight a , I can feel it look a the direction I suspect it to be in after doing weird Doppler sensitive math, then I hear the sound afterwards. I associate the first and looking for sight of it with the feeling of sound hearing it afterwards recording and memory to develope a sense for the use to beTGB. Its more of a fun little thing see if catch in a sonar bubble to case it up. (use the energy) TGB pretty cool stuff I guess that mite be the amish super power side of me. TGB
Its power to move zones, make relays. (how many howses ears hear that roar, that's all connected) all the "lines" make anchors, out of old trees or pumps out the underground gofer holes, a breathing system "growing" I can reach anywhere.
but you no whats cooler... A bird chirping , have you ever heard a bird chirp in your house from 100 yards away outside? How does that little tiny thing that little ball of energy, small amount of energy penetrate a brick wall, installation,tv, music sounds, a bird chirp (a real one) vs a loud roaring static jet... . A tiny bird or flock of crows , barn swallows, can create a zone. But they all work together. One has flown into my window in awhile, you can the u.s. airforce for that, saving the little birds. TGB the way I mean it
there like zone mainance... (you see them being sold "deals') the jets and war planes to other countries in the news. Say a country is about to be built up ( or gain a tourist route) they most likely will be getting a Few TGB jets, There are lots of circumstances I demand before I influence jets sales, that's a lot of money mullah, I could save a planet with. the way that I mean it
cells phones have a bird chirp, but could you hear if it you were outside your house 100 yards away. TGB bird chirp
woof woof
No ones talking or considering one fact. If the Korea's become one Kim will be a country with nuclear power.
Big Dawg Kim has no power. His nuclear tests sites have collapsed. China has reported that whole mountain sides have caved in. Nothing but a big hole. Kim really dosent have a choice. However watch out for Russia.
Traci Robarchek - I guess what I was thinking was if S. Korea and N. Korea. unite over a period of time what type of government will the united country install? If it is the S. Korean democracy them i would assume the relationship with the U.S. would remain somewhat similar. I believe and I may be wrong but the U.S. has supplied S. Korea with nuclear capabilities. If they continue to have the nuclear capability and I was to assume Kim will have a very powerful position in the government. Then what? As a highly ranked government official he would still have the ability to make decisions regarding nuclear deployment. Just wondering. All said and done and putting this idea a side this reunion of South and N. Korea is a beautiful thing. I hope the world will use this as a example and begin healing. The fact that the U.S. and N. Korea are meeting in peace is something I have been waiting for. My dad died in Vietnam. I hated them for so long but as time went on I learned to forgive and what is happening in Korea is a miracle. ✌
Big Dawg I agree. Let's however not be dumb and turn our backs completely. Let's not trust completely. Better to be safe than sorry.
Benarkin-Rebel Truth America is very much on edge right now.
This aged very poorly :(
