Some four-hundred-40 South Koreans returned home Monday after a three-day reunion with their long-lost kin in North Korea.

Family members bid tearful farewells early Monday after holding individual reunions the previous day, during which the South Korean group met with some one-hundred North Korean relatives at the Mount Geumgang Hotel in the Stalinist state.

The individual reunions followed group meetings held on Saturday.

On Tuesday, another 140-member group from the South will travel to North Korea to be briefly reunited with some 250 relatives.

The reunions are the 12th to be held since August 2000, as agreed on in a joint South-North declaration signed that year.
