And now we bring things back to the Dorasan checkpoint-- where the
media is busy covering the inter-Korean summit.
Our Park Hee-jun is on the ground to soak in the atmosphere around the Dorasan checkpoint,...
Heejun,... we are more than half way through the day, and with the schedule of the summit
as well,.... any change in the atmosphere outside the studio?
Hey guys, It's been one restless day for
the Dorasan Checkpoint,... that's 5 to 6 kilometers away from Panmunjom.
Reporters here have been going live on camera all day.
And hundreds of staff-- from both local and foreign press-- have been preparing for each
live broadcast.
I could tell that everyone was interested only in the meeting between the two Koreas.
Because when the two leaders met and their encounter went live on air in the morning--
all eyes and ears were tuned into the long-awaited moment.
They were focused on the television screens, smartphones-- anything broadcasting the summit
live.
It was the kind of attention that only such a history-making summit could have excited.
The atmosphere at the Dorasan checkpoint is definitely a clear contrast to the usual scene
in recent years.
When the Kaesong Industrial Complex was still operating,... around 200 Koreans used to pass
through here every day.
It's been pretty much empty since the complex was shut down,... until the recent PyeongChang
Winter Olympics when North Korean VIPs and athletes came through the office to enter
the South.
Many are hoping that today's event will open
the doors for inter-Korean exchange, like it used to.
That's all I have
for now--
I'll be back with
more
for our
next newscast-- see
you guys in
a bit.
