- On May 12, North Korea, for the first time, admitted having an outbreak of COVID-19,... adding that this was the ’biggest emergency incident’ in the country.
Pyongyang switched to a ‘maximum emergency quarantine system‘ with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordering all cities to be put under lockdown. North Korea made the announcement, admitting an outbreak of COVID-19, ahead of U.S. President Biden’s visit to South Korea. With this incident, could the Yoon administration serve as a bridge between Washington and Pyongyang and help them resume dialogue?
- We will meet a couple who are continuing their beekeeping business even after defecting from North Korea because of their love and affection for honey. Let’s go right ahead and meet Lee Do-yun and Kim Mi-gyeong.
