South Korea

South Korean officials returning from a two-day visit to Pyongyang say North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is willing to discuss giving up his nuclear weapons with the U.S.

"It is impossible to lead a happy life when long hours and overexertion become routine," President Moon Jae-in said recently. The country has one of the world's lowest birth rates.

Shortly before the Winter Olympics closing ceremony Sunday in Pyeongchang, the North indicated it is willing to engage in dialogue with the U.S., according to the South Korean president's office.

Their historic run on the Olympic sheet has captured the hearts of their host country. Now, after a clutch semifinal win Friday, the so-called "Garlic Girls" have a shot to capture gold, too.

The speedskaters face public outrage for their unsportsmanlike behavior in a race, that left one member sobbing on the sidelines. A petition demands that they be expelled.

The three-time Olympian claimed silver at Pyeongchang, missing gold by just over two hundredths of a second. His feat ends an American drought in the event that spanned more than five decades.

Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has captivated media attention in South Korea during her unprecedented visit for the Winter Olympics.

Vice President Mike Pence ignored the North Korean delegation at the Winter Olympics, skipping a dinner reception and refusing to stand when the united Korean team marched during the opening ceremony.
