I hope north and south Korea can get along and unified as one country and go back and forth with trade and help each other's solutions. With usa there things can get out of control. My answer is kick out usa troops and war ships out. They need each other.

Not reconciliation but "attempt to reconcile" made by the Kim. The actual process is more complicated and the final decision is not in the hand of south Korea !

With music and sport you can conciliate but us didn't let them
