I understand you have more personal stories to share.
This time direct siblings.

Yes, Daniel.

80-year old Kim Gwang-ho met his younger brother, 78-years-old, and his wife.
Kim had seven siblings in the North when he headed down to South Korea in 1950.
He said he thought he could reunite with them in just a week, but that week turned into 68 years.
Another South Korean who's meeting with her siblings is 82-year old Bae Soon-hee .
She met with one older and one younger sister.
Before the meeting, she said she wasn't sure that her younger sister would be able to come, but thankfully the three of them were able to share this precious moment.
And the oldest participant among the group is 101-year old Baek Sung-kyu ,.. who met his daughter-in-law and a grand daughter.
"How do you feel now?"
"I feel great. I feel like I'm on top of Mount Kumgang."
"What did you tell them?"
"I couldn't say anything. I was too choked up."
