part 3: 국군전쟁포로 납북자 가족들

All the participants' had amazing stories to share.
But some stood out a little more, especially those who ended up on the opposite sides of the border due to circumstances while donning uniforms.
Do Tell us about those.

That's right, Daniel.
Some of these relatives were separated because a member of their family was taken prisoner by the North during the war or was abducted by the regime.
That's true in six cases.
As South Korea prepared for these reunions,... asking the North which people would be able to attend, it enquired about 50 people in particular who were either POWs from the South or had been otherwise abducted.
The North confirmed the whereabouts of 21 of them -- 13 of them dead, eight alive.
Two of those still living are unable to move because of their advanced age.
So, the six who were able to move have joined these reunions.
POWs and abductees have joined the reunions before.
Between 2000 and 2015, South Korea inquired about 350 such people -- 54 of whom eventually got to meet their families.

As brisk it may seem, Hopefully the gathering will provide some closure for these people.
Thank you for the report, Ji-won.
