A second group of some four-hundred-30 South Koreans has left for Mount Geumgang for temporary reunions with their long-lost relatives from the North.

The group left Sokcho, Gangwon Province early Monday morning in a bus convoy traversing a cross-border land route to the North’s mountain resort.

Over the next three days, the South Koreans will be reunited with one-hundred North Korean relatives, beginning with a group reunion later in the day.

They will attend a ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of a permanent reunion center at the resort before returning home on Wednesday.

Earlier on Sunday, the first group of 99 South Korean family members returned from the North’s scenic mountain resort after reuniting with their long lost-kin for the first time in half a century.

Currently, the whereabouts of some 23-thousand separated family members from both Koreas have been identified. Six-hundred-70 out of the total are estimated to have exchanged correspondences.
