It's a pity that these reunions aren't held that much.br br Absolutely.br Some of the participants I met -- they said the opportunity to meet their North Korean families... was like winning a lottery.br And though I say there are 50-thousand people on the waiting list, there could be a lot more, because some South Koreans don't apply for the reunions in the first place, because they know there's a very low chance for them to actually get the opportunity.
