Chung told Biegun that South Korea hopes the planning talks between the U.S. and North Korea will pave the way for a successful summit.

President Donald Trump said that he would meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a second summit meeting in February.

The announcement came amid a growing #MeToo movement in South Korea's elite sports scene, which has been notorious for a brutal training culture.

North Korea issued a straightforward statement Thursday saying Pyongyang won’t denuclearize until the United States removes its nuclear threat from the region first.

The launching facility 'has installed new equipment, possibly for ventilation, on the roof of the eastern-most fuel/oxidizer storage bunker.'

'It was another step forward. So this is, I think, a good outcome for all of us.'

'We have started a bold journey toward a permanent peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula.'

'These moves are expected to help resolve the international community’s doubts toward North Korea’s preemptive dismantling moves in the past as a mere show.'
