Experiencing Interruptions?

Revisiting home

Face-to-face family reunions have been suspended since 2018. Of the 130,000 people who applied for the reunion, 90,000 have already passed away. More than 80% of the 42,000 survivors are elderly, with an average of 300 to 400 deaths per month.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Armistice Agreement in Korea and the 40th anniversary of the special live broadcast of KBS 'Finding Dispersed Families'. We covered the painful history and special homecoming of the first generation of separated families that were forgotten and disappearing.
