Our top story this morning.
President Moon Jae-in's team of special envoys is traveling to Pyongyang for talks on the upcoming inter-Korean summit -- set for this month -- as well as the regime's denuclearization.
The delegation is comprised of the same five officials who visited the North Korean capital around six months ago... and they've been credited for playing a key role in bringing all the different sides back to the table after months of rising tensions.
Let's speak to our Shin Se-min who's following this story from South Korea's top office.
Semin,... the delegation departed for Pyongyang just after dawn this morning,... what (if anything) do we know about their trip so far?

Well,... South Korea's special envoy and his delegation of four other officials left for Pyongyang by plane at 7:40AM,... and it's past 10AM now,... so they've probably landed in the North Korean capital.
Prior to their departure from Seoul Air Base,... the envoys were tight-lipped,... not saying anything to reporters.
As for the schedule of their day-long trip,... there's nothing much we know at this point,... not even the time of arrival,... as Chung told reporters yesterday that most of the details will stay under wraps until they actually land in Pyongyang.
Despite those unknowns,... South Korea's presidential office is known to have carefully coordinated today's trip.
For one, the same five members that left today,... visited Pyongyang for two days in March,... which planted the seed for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's respective summits with President Moon and U.S. President Donald Trump,... and South Korea's top office says it wants this visit to go as smoothly as the first.


We wish them all the best -- it's always tough to get concrete commitments out of the North Koreans,... especially on denuclearization.
However,... the diplomatic landscape has changed beyond recognition since these same South Korean officials last traveled to Pyongyang in March,... and we are hoping this trip will be as successful as the last....

Well Mark--,... that's the goal.
South Korea's special envoy is leaving with an ambitious agenda to work out the impasse over North Korea's denuclearization.
And that was stated by the special envoy himself at the top office on Tuesday,.. where he told the press corps that he plans to discuss ways to "completely" denuclearize the Korean Peninsula and establish lasting peace.
Take a look at this.

"As President Moon said before, this is an extremely important time in terms of establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula. Peace in the region and complete denuclearization go hand in hand."

So three major things we can expect today from the envoys-- one settling on the specific date and agenda for the inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang this month, negotiating ways for a "complete" denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and lastly talking about improving relations between the two Koreas by implementing the Panmunjom
