This appears to be very thinly sourced, specifically: "Newspaper Munhwa Ilbo cited an unnamed South Korean intelligence source".
I don't know how reliable that newspaper is, but the fact that it's an unnamed intelligence source as well makes me skeptical.
Hopefully it's true though.

- jandrese 9y agoI'm with you. Good if true, but this is not a highly trustworthy source.
- abhiminator 9y agoHere's a New York Times article on the subject: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/17/world/asia/kim-jong-un-north-korea-talks.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/17/world/asia/kim-jong-un-no... -- it appears a "high-ranking Official" from the South was the source behind the article.
- foobaw 9y agoOddly, none of this is being reported in the Korean news.
